Match Time & Date:

Prediction: `1-0
Almeria
Girona will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Cadiz when they take on Almeria on Friday evening. The Catalan outfit occupy 11th place in the standings, but they are only four points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Almeria. Both Yan Couto and Ibrahima Kebe remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Ibrahima Kebe is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis in the last two league fixtures, and seeing that Girona have turned their Estadio Municipal de Montilivi into a real fortress, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. Rodrigo Ely limped off with injury in the Andalusian derby at the weekend, with Chumi likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Christian Stuani):
Cristhian Stuani is considered one of the best Uruguay attackers. Stuani was born on 12 October, 1986 and he began his senior career at Danubio. He impressed with the Uruguayan outfit, scoring 23 goals in 36 appearances for the club and, as a result, he became a target for a number of top European clubs.
In 2008 he signed a contract with Reggina, but he failed to impress in 17 appearances for the Italian team. After spending the 2012/2013 season on loan at Espanyol, Christian Stuani signed a permanent deal with the Catalan side in 2013. Stuani scored 12 goals in 37 league appearances for Espanyol in the 2014/2015 Primera Division campaign, but at the end of the season he moved to Middlesbrough for a reported €3 million fee.
The 186-cm-tall striker made his Uruguay debut on 14 November, 2012 in a friendly win over Poland. Stuani also represented la Celeste at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
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.
