Prediction: 1-0
Albacete
Almeria will look to build on a 2-1 win over Zaragoza when they take on Albacete in the La Liga 2 round 11. The Andalusians quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to Oviedo, with the team beating Zaragoza on the road, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to move closer to the playoffs berth. Midfielder Lucas Robertone should be the only absentee in the home team.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Burgos, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that Albacete have suffered three defeats in the previous four away games in the Spanish second tier. A man to watch in the home team will be Higinio Marin, who scored a brace at the weekend, while both Jose Carlos Lazo and Jaume Costa continue to miss out with injuries.
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.
