Another ‘final’ to get away from danger

Cádiz and Getafe opens this Friday on the twenty-fifth day of Santander League in another ‘final’ for both teams, direct rivals in the fight for permanence and with less margin for error to stay away from the danger zone.

Cadistas and azulone play it on New Mirandilla Stadium, where recently the team coached by Sergio González achieved very good results. There, two equal clubs face off in the table: Cádiz is fifteenth with 26 points, one of the relegation places, and Getafe is sixteenth with 25. Both are third from last ( Almería) and also in Sevilla (seventeenth).

The yellow team, with just one defeat in the last four games after a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad, will be looking to continue their momentum at home, where they have won three in a row. The goal is to eliminate one of their direct rivals who are also experiencing a good moment, with only one game lost in the last five. However, both could fall into the danger squares if this rivalry breaks loose.

the students of Sergio They are confident of the good track record they have on their pitch, where they haven’t lost since September and have gone nine games without defeat, a fact that keeps them afloat.

Cádiz has three consecutive games ahead of it in which it can maintain its settlement outside the relegation zone by facing three direct opponents in that match, as, after this Friday against Getafe, it will visit Almería on Saturday the 18th and, Two weeks later after the break due to international matches, he will receive Sevilla in Nuevo Mirandilla on April 1.

The Cadista coach will be without Uruguayan Brian Ocampo for the rest of the season, who this week was diagnosed with an injury to his right knee that will require surgery in the near future. The 23-year-old striker, who has played eighteen games this season, fifteen of them as a starter, was an integral part of Sergio González’s eleven until his loss through injury.

At Getafe they are living their good moments cautiously after emerging from relegation the previous day. After defeating Girona in suffering (3-2), the Madrid club will try against Cádiz to give more strength to its candidacy to be one of the clubs that reach safety at the end of the course.

It seems that the men of Quique Sánchez Flores reacted at the right time after a false start in 2023. The coach of the Madrid team showed himself to be more flexible and successfully used different methods to achieve the good results. The strict 5-3-2 is no longer mandatory and with the changes they have added two victories (Valencia and Girona), two draws (Atlético and Rayo) and a defeat to Villarreal in their last five games.

With that momentum, Getafe managed to leave the relegation places and Cádiz will be the first of two major clashes. Later, Sevilla, another direct rival, will visit the Coliseum. If Quique’s men string together two consecutive victories, the end of this season’s suffering is on the horizon.

The coach of azulón will have almost the entire team except Jordan Amavi, who has physical problems will not go to Cádiz. It was the only safe loss for Getafe, who will also be without Mauro Arambarri, who was brought off in the last minute against Girona.

The Uruguayan midfielder will fight to arrive in time for the clash and, if he does not succeed, his position will be taken by Ángel Algobia. The rest, without further injuries and penalties, will be available to complete an eleven that will continue after the victory against Girona.
