This is Córdoba’s umpteenth opportunity to win at home and perhaps the most appropriate due to the rival’s needs. The green and white team visits the Nuevo Mirandilla in Cádiz this Sunday from 4:15 p.m. during the fifteenth day of the Hypermotion League championship (Second Division). Córdoba arrives as the worst visitor in the silver category and faces a recently promoted team (although behind in the standings) to get rid of this series of bad results once and for all away from El Arcángel, their real fortress in this start of the league .
The team arrives with the bittersweet feeling left by their match against Castellón last week. Iván Ania’s team had a bad first half, where they left 0-2 at halftime. However, the changes revolutionized the team and changed the course of the game. Córdoba came back to equalize thanks to a spectacular Théo Zidane. With this confidence, they want to aim for their first three points away. In a complicated scenario, since the Cádiz team continues to be a contender for promotion despite the poor results of the first days.
The classification does not include budgets. Only two points separate Cádiz from Córdoba in the standings with the yellow box below, on the tightrope of relegation. The pressure is therefore on the boys’ side. Paco Lopez and not in the green and white team, which achieves its objectives after the first third of the league. In addition, Córdoba has one game less that it will have to make up against Almería next Tuesday, November 26. The winner will emerge strengthened in the ranking and will be able to enjoy a more intense season each week.
Cadiz is not experiencing its best moment. It displays a rate of points equal to that of last year, when it was relegated to Second Division B. It has one of the best squads, by name, in the category, but it is fighting today to avoid relegation. Last week, a double from Ontiveros saved the Cádiz team from defeat against Mirandés and gave his team a point. Only one victory in the last five matches and two regular defeats in eleven: Yoza and Rubén Alcaraz. Mwepu, who was called up by Zambia this week, will also not be there.
For its part, Iván Ania’s team will arrive at the match with two losses. Both on defense. You won’t be able to count on another week with Matías Barboza who relapsed following his injury during the King’s Cup match against Olot nor with Carlos Isaac who was injured in the first half against Castellón. He recovers Jacobo for the offensive part, who will have more firepower given the good form of Théo Zidane and Antonio Casas, who scores his sixth goal of the season and consolidates himself as one of the best scorers of the category.

With these things, Iván Ania will have more difficulty choosing an eleven to play in Cádiz. In the goal there is some doubtswith Carlos Marín in magnificent form. In the back axis, Lapeña will be a permanent element. His dance partner will be Marvel, even if he doesn’t have all his confidence lately. On the left side Calderón and on the right Albarrán, who will regain possession. In midfield, Isma Ruiz could have Théo Zidane as a partner, who distinguished himself last week in this position.
Up front, Jacobo would return to the midfield position as Adilson has recovered from his injury and would occupy the left winger position. However, Ander Yoldi also knocks on the door or even Theo Zidane as a midfielder. Several options for the offensive plot. Those who will not change will be Carracedo, who will occupy the right winger and Antonio Casas, who will be the reference attacker.
