AI match recap
This is a provincial cup derby in which Cádiz arrive from a morale-boosting first win under Borja Jiménez, but with a new coach still learning his squad and likely to change personnel. Xerez have maximum home motivation and a clear intention to play from the back, even if their own rotation and injury list remove some depth. The poor Chapín pitch is the great leveller: it should interrupt combinations and turn the contest toward duels, loose balls and dead-ball situations. Cádiz retain the stronger squad profile, but this is set up as a tight single-match tie rather than a routine away night.
Injuries and absences
Cádiz are missing Tabatadze, Gocholeishvili and Petit, while Javi Castro is being protected after discomfort; that narrows Jiménez’s options during a planned rotation. Xerez have confirmed injuries to Zelu and Saúl Romero, and Fali’s availability remains a significant late call for their defensive structure.
