Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Almeria will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Ibiza at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos on Friday evening. The Andalusians have been struggling ever since Umar Sadiq joined the Nigeria national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, but the team’s top scorer returns to the starting XI against Ibiza. All Dyego Sousa, Jose Carlos Lazo, and Daniel Carrico should miss out with injuries for the home side.
The newcomers, on the other hand, have been in a fine form in 2022, with the team winning three games, while sharing the spoils with Zaragoza at the weekend. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Umar Sadiq returns to Almeria’s starting XI for Friday’s clash. A man to watch in the away side will be Sergio Castel, who scored a brace in the last league match.
