Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat will host Sunday’s Segunda Division game between Eldense and Almeria. Los Azulgranas have been having their ups and downs in the new La Liga 2 campaign, with the team beating Tenerife, sharing the spoils with Gijon, while losing to Cartagena. Eldense are eager to get back on course as soon as possible, but they will have a big fish to fry against Almeria. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Andalusian outfit, on the other hand, aim to remain undefeated in the new Segunda Division season. Considering that Almeria failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Gijon, missing out several clear-cut opportunities to score, away win should be considered this time out. Los Rojiblancos head coach Rubi should have a full squad to choose from as well, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
Highlighted Team (Almeria):
UD Almeria is a Spanish club based in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Los Rojiblancos are one of the newer additions to the Spanish football system, with the club being founded on July 26, 1989.
Almeria suffered relegation to Segunda Division in the 2014/15 season, and they have been competing in the Spanish second tier ever since. Los Rojiblancos are well known for their white shirts with red stripes, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Sofiane Feghouli, Felipe Melo, Diego Alves, Veljko Paunovic, Aleix Vidal, Alvaro Negredo, Tomer Hemed, and Mate Bilic are some notable footballers who played for Almeria in the past. Fellow Andalusian clubs Sevilla, Malaga, and Granada are considered the club’s fiercest rivals.
The club’s biggest success in Copa del Rey came in the 2010/11 season when they made it to the semis of the prestigious competition. Nonetheless, Catalan giants Barcelona proved to be a big catch for Almeria in the Spanish Cup semi-finals.
