Ceuta will host Cadiz at the Estádio Municipal Alfonso Murube on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The hosts will be keen to end their recent poor run and return to winning ways to remain in contention for promotion by the end of the season.
Ceuta picked up three consecutive wins between late February and early March but have since failed to earn a single point in their subsequent three games, suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Las Palmas, a narrow 2-1 loss to Deportivo La Coruna, and most recently, a dramatic 5-2 defeat against Leganes.
Thanks for the submission!
Caballas endured a tough return to life in the second division after nearly six decades away but have steadily climbed the league table and now sit in 10th place, just six points shy of the promotion playoff spots.
Cadiz, on the other hand, began the season in impressive form but have seen that momentum stall with the turn of the new year, prompting the dismissal of head coach Gaizka Garitano earlier this month.
The Limoneros won their first game under their new manager Sergio Gonzalez but suffered a 3-0 home loss to Malaga in his second, leaving them six points behind their weekend opponents and only seven clear of the relegation zone.

Ceuta vs Cadiz Prediction
The Caballas are slight favorites heading into the weekend clash, although their recent performances could see them battle hard against a slightly stronger squad.
The Limoneros, who have won just two matches all year, will need to make major improvements on their recent form to avoid defeat this weekend.
We back the home side to claim a narrow and hard-fought win.
