Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Almeria will be aiming to keep their 100% record in the new La Liga 2 campaign intact when they face Amorebieta at Lezama Facilities. The Andalusians kicked off the new Segunda Division in style, and, as a result, they are brimming with confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash. Umar Sadiq should continue to lead the line for the visitors despite failing to find the net in the triumph over Oviedo.
Yet another man to watch in the away team will be pacey winger Largie Ramazani, who scored a brace in the 3-1 win over Cartagena. The newcomers, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, and given Almeria’s flying start to the season, anything but a routine away win would be a major surprise. Both Bilbao and Unzueta are pushing for a start for the Basque outfit.

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.
