Segunda División action returns on Friday evening as Cádiz host Sporting Gijón in their first home fixture of the year.
Sitting eighth and seventh respectively, just one point separates the sides ahead of kick-off, suggesting a closely contested affair.
Cádiz edged a hard-fought victory when these sides met last year, and another evenly balanced encounter is expected on Friday.

Cadiz team overview
Cadiz return to Nuevo Mirandilla after an entertaining 2:2 draw against Deportivo last weekend. Iuri Tabatadze's late goal ensured a share of the spoils at Estadio Riazor.
A lack of consistency has been a big issue for Gaizka Garitano's side in the past couple of months. Cadiz won three but lost four of their last eight fixtures since the start of November.
High-scoring outcomes have been a recurring theme in recent Cadiz fixtures. All but one of their last eight matches finished with at least three goals scored. Six of their seven most recent fixtures also finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Garitano has no reported injury issues this weekend. Iuri Tabatadze is tipped to earn a recall after a goalscoring substitute appearance against Deportivo La Coruna.

Sporting Gijon team overview
Sporting Gijon make the trip to Nuevo Mirandilla looking for a response after a disappointing 3:1 home defeat against Malaga last Sunday. Julen Lobete's late goal put the seal on a well-deserved road win for the visitors.
Much like the home side, Sporting have struggled to maintain consistency in performance in recent fixtures. Borja Jiménez's side won four and lost four of their last ten fixtures across all competitions.
Approaching the midway point in the La Liga 2 season, Gijon remain eighth in the division, one point behind Cadiz, and two points outside of the promotion playoff positions.
Head coach Jiménez will be forced to make at least one change to his squad selection this weekend. Brian Oliván is suspended after he was sent off in the home defeat against Malaga.
