Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Monday’s football game between Almeria and Castellon will close round 5 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. The Andalusians have yet to find their best form and they head into the match following a 1-0 loss to Eldense. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, we are not tempted to put our money on Rubi’s troops as they have yet to start their engines.
Los Albinegros, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Cadiz. As both Castellon and Almeria are likely to go for a win in Monday’s showdown, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Albert Lottin is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. You should know that both sides managed to find the net in each of their last four meetings in the Spanish second tier.
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.
