Cádiz and Granada seek to flee from the ‘hot’ zone

Cádiz and Granada settle this Monday, at the close of the seventeenth day of LaLiga Santander, a high-voltage Andalusian duel due to the delicate qualifying situation of both teams, which are played take some oxygen or flee from danger, respectively, or see their position aggravated.

Cádiz, penultimate with 12 points, faces the clash with the imperative need to cut its streak of three consecutive defeats and achieve their first victory at their stadium in Nuevo Mirandilla to reach Granada in the table, fifteenth with 15 and that arrives in the Cádiz capital after its important victory last day against another direct rival (2-1 to Alavés).

Al Álvaro Cervera’s team, who was tied on points with the Granadans before the start of the previous day, are now separated by 3 units from his rival this Monday after the Cadista defeat in Elche (3-1), so he urges him to win to equalize him again and avoid increasing its distance to 6 units.

Not even the tie would be a lesser evil for Cádiz, who has already seen that marker too many times in his stadium, against Levante, Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Mallorca, in addition to having lost against Osasuna, Real Sociedad, Alavés and Atlético de Madrid in his eight appearances.

The Cervera’s pupils do not know the triumph in their field this season. In the Nuevo Mirandilla they have not won a league match since May 8, when, even with their old name of Ramón de Carranza, they beat Huesca 2-1 on matchday 35 last season.

In Cádiz, the usual injured are low José Mari Martín-Bejarano and Jon Ander Garrido, in addition to the right back Isaac Carcelén, who falls from the last line-up due to an ailment, with which Carlos Akapo will presumably occupy that position. Cervera has the doubt of midfielder Alberto Perea, who has not trained well in recent days due to a cold.

Yes you can count on again the Chilean Tomás Alarcón, already recovered from an injury and who could accompany Álex Fernández in the double pivot, who could not train in the middle of the week due to a physical problem from which he has improved.

Granada, meanwhile, will try to get another good result against a direct rival in order to move a little further away from the relegation zone. After his victory suffered last day against Alavés, he now has to play at home with Cádiz.

The Nasrid team thus begins a cycle in which they must play four games in just ten days, having to play the Copa del Rey tie with Mancha Real on Thursday and also the match with Atlético de Madrid on December 22. , which was postponed in its day.

Robert Moreno recover some of the players who were injured. These are the cases of Germán, Montoro and Isma Ruiz. In doubt there will be the contest of Victor Diaz, still with some annoyances. They are low Rochina, Machís and Domingos Duarte.

German could return to ownership to the detriment of Peruvian Abram. Montoro also aims to be at the beginning to reinforce the spinal cord. Not many more changes are anticipated in principle.
