Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Lugo
Almeria will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Leganes and Mallorca when they take on Lugo in the La Liga 2 round 27. The Andalusians failed to turn their dominance into goals in the 2-0 loss to Mallorca, but they are surely capable of beating Lugo at home ground. Despite failing to find the net at the weekend, a man to watch in the home team will be former Partizan Belgrade attacker Umar Sadiq, who has netted 12 goals in the Spanish second tier so far this term.
Lugo, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Mehdi Nafti’s men have already suffered seven defeats on the road, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Almeria’s party in Andalusia. Midfielder Hugo Rama is banned for the visitors.
