UD Las Palmas return to action with a trip to the JP Financial Estadio to face Cadiz this Saturday, September 12th. The match, corresponding to the fifth round of the Segunda División, represents a chance to get back to winning ways after the international break.
The yellow team arrives following a goalless draw at home to Leganes, a result that leaves them tenth in the table with seven points. Their season record stands at two wins, one draw, and one defeat. On a positive note, the memory of their last meeting with Cadiz is encouraging, as they won 1-3 in their visit on August 8th.
Defensive absences
The main team news is the forced absence of centre-back Alex Suárez, who joins the injury list alongside Ale García and Marvin Park. The club's medical report has not specified a recovery timeline for any of the three. This situation will force the manager to restructure the defensive line that last featured V. Pezzolesi, Suárez himself, J. Herzog, and G. Bonfanti.
Cadiz, for their part, sit in 18th place with just three points and are yet to win this campaign. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Valladolid. Despite their difficult start, the home side always represents a tough challenge on their own ground.
With the squad somewhat depleted, focus turns to players like T. Miyashiro and J. Betancor to provide the necessary goal threat. A win would distance Las Palmas from the relegation spots and allow them to close in on the promotion places, as they currently sit three points behind leaders Castellón.
