Prediction: 1-1
Eibar
All eyes will be on Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos when Almeria and Eibar face each other in the Segunda Division derby. Almeria continue life without Umar Sadiq, who represents Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations, and his absence is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. To make things even worse for the hosts, all Sousa, Vazquez, Lazo, and Carrico have been struggling with injuries of late.
Los Armeros, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Real Oviedo in their last league fixture. The Basques are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, and they are surely capable of holding the league leaders to a draw. January signing Chema Rodriguez, who joined the club on loan from Getafe, is widely expected to make his Eibar debut against Almeria.
