In the 30th round of the Spanish Segunda Division, CD Mirandés will host Cádiz CF on March 13, 2026 (local time). The home side desperately needs a victory as they battle to avoid relegation.
Team News and Expert Analysis
Mirandés
The club from Estadio Municipal de Anduva had an impressive campaign last season. They finished fourth in the standings with 75 points, only two points behind Elche CF, who secured automatic promotion to La Liga with 77 points.
However, Mirandés ultimately fell short of promotion after losing the playoff final to Real Oviedo due to a dramatic extra-time goal. Following that heartbreak, head coach Alessio Lisci departed to take charge of CA Osasuna. Without him, the team’s performance declined significantly, and they have slipped into the relegation zone this season.
Despite the difficult situation, Mirandés continue to fight for survival. They managed to show some improvement with a couple of encouraging performances, but recent defeats against AD Ceuta FC and Burgos CF have once again complicated their situation.
Cádiz
The team from Nuevo Mirandilla Stadium spent several seasons competing in La Liga before being relegated in 2024. During their first season back in the Segunda Division, Cádiz collected 55 points and finished 13th in the standings after tie-breakers.
The current campaign started relatively well, but their form declined during the winter months. Losses became more frequent, including a narrow 0–1 defeat against Real Zaragoza.
Statistically, Mirandés struggle defensively. Hernández and his teammates average only 0.97 goals per game while conceding 1.62 per match. Cádiz have slightly stronger numbers, scoring around one goal per match and conceding an average of 1.24.
