Cadiz will continue their preparations for the 2023-24 La Liga campaign with a pre-season friendly against Las Palmas at Estadio Municipal de Marbella Stadium on Thursday. Cadiz will enter into the match on the back of a 3-1 win over Al-Wakrah on Wednesday. On the other hand, Las Palmas is coming with a defeat against Espanyol with a scoreline of 2-1. Talking about their league standings, Cadiz is still in La Liga. However, Las Palmas has been relegated to the Segunda Division (i.e. La Liga 2).
Talking about injury concerns, Cadiz will start with two crucial misses in the game. The experienced centre-back Luis Hernandez and forward Brian Ocampo. Ocampo will be out of action till the middle of October due to a ligament injury. The absence of Luis Hernandez may not dent Cadiz’s chance of winning the match. However, the same is not true for Luis Hernandez. The 33-year-old defender had been a vital player of Cadiz. Hernandez will be out of action till early September due to a meniscus injury.
Las Palmas remains the only one in Spanish football to achieve back-to-back promotions to La Liga in its first two seasons. It had a 19-year run in the competition, till 1982–83. They have been promoted to La Liga on three additional occasions since that time, most recently from 2015 to 2018. However, their opponents have always enjoyed the top tier of Spanish football. Cadiz was put on the footballing map by Magico Gonzalez. It will be interesting to see who has the last laugh on Thursday.
