Prediction: 2-1
Albacete
Almeria and Albacete take on each other at UD Almeria Stadium in the closing match of Segunda Division round 1. The Andalusians defeated Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in their last warm-up game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. It has to be noted that the club chiefs have reinforced the defence by signing the likes of Federico Bonini, Daijiro Chirino, Marcos Luna, and Nelson Monte in the summer transfer window.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, are no longer considered one of the teams to beat in Segunda Division. Considering that Almeria are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that Albacete are capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s clash. To make things even worse for the away team, top scorer Higinio Marin has been struggling with injury of late.
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.
