Prediction: 2-0
Cordoba
There will be fireworks when Almeria and Cordoba square off against each other at Power Horse Stadium in the Andalusian derby. Almeria survived lower-league side San Sebastian Reyes in their Copa del Rey opener and they now aim to return to winning ways in Segunda Division. Midfielder Arnau Puigmal should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in the Spanish Cup triumph, while Lucas Robertone remains in the recovery room.
Los Califas, on the other hand, aim to recover from an embarrassing loss to Olot in the Copa del Rey round 1. As Cordoba are not considered good travellers, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. In their last meeting at the venue Almeria defeated Cordoba 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
