Elche-based Eldense can edge the Submarino Amarillo
Match context
Two teams who are in poor form at the moment will do battle at Estadio Pepico Amat on Saturday when Eldense host a Cadiz side who are yet to find the net of an away victory in all competitions. The hosts are the favorites to get the win, but the odds on both teams scoring is too short and there is some appeal in a home edge.
Tactics and key player
Claudio Barragan has been at the helm of Eldense since 20 October 2025 and during that time has implemented a style that is tough to break down. His men usually sit in a compact midblock, look to nick second balls and punish opponents on transition and set pieces when they can get a foothold.
- Eldense's recent form read W5, D1, L4 across their last 10 in all competitions, while Cadiz have gone 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 defeats during the same period.
- Fidel Chaves is their main danger man as the striker has scored 2 of their 4 goals in the last 5 matches, but the Azulgranas have been scoring 2.20 goals per game at home, conceding 1.00 and winning 4 of 5, losing just once.
Cadiz can create a real chess match for Eldense
Cadiz's coach Albert Celades has been in charge since 12 August 2026 and his pragmatic style is built on confidence, an adaptability to be able to be direct or more progressive through the midfield, but always with an urgency to play vertically when they regain possession.
The Submarino Amarillo have also lost their way recently with just 1 win from their last 5 in LaLiga 2 2026/27. Their most recent trio of matches has seen them record a 3-0 home win over Leganes, a 4-1 away defeat to Racing Santander and a 0-0 home draw with Celta Fortuna.
Cadiz are capable of switching the game into a real chess match if they get it right, but their lack of firepower and Eldense's organisation should ensure the hosts are able to get the victory.
