We do not have confirmed formations for either side, so we keep it honest — but we can paint the picture. Cadiz, under their usual setup, will likely sit in a compact shape, let Celta II have the ball in harmless areas, and then strike on the transition. They are not a side that dominates possession for fun; they are a side that suffocates, breaks lines with sharp passes, and punishes mistakes. At home, they will press higher and force Celta II's young defenders into errors. The B-team will try to play out from the back — that is the Celta way — but against a seasoned Cadiz midfield, that is a pressing trap waiting to spring.

Celta II will likely set up to stay compact themselves, maybe a low block, hoping to nick something on the counter or from a set piece. But their back line is untested at this level. The physicality, the pace of the game, the crowd — it all accelerates. Cadiz will dominate the midfield dogfight, win the second balls, and feed their wide runners. Expect Cadiz to control the tempo, frustrate the visitors, and create chances through half-space runners and crosses into the box. The game state should be Cadiz on the front foot from the first whistle, with Celta II retreating deeper and deeper.
