Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Power Horse Stadium when Almeria and Eibar lock horns in the La Liga 2 derby. The Andalusians aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Eldense and Castellon and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Armeros. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, experienced midfielder Gonzalo Melero should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Basques, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Albacete and Tenerife. Given Almeria’s poor defensive display in the last league match, we predict that the promotion-chasing visitors are going to pick up vital three points from the round 6 six game. Joseba Etxeberria is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Tenerife at the weekend. You should know that last time out Eibar defeated Almeria 2-0 at Power Horse Stadium.
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.
