📋 Team News: UD Almería
We are thinking that UD Almería will probably go for a 4-4-2 formation this time and select Fernando Martínez, Alejandro Pozo, Chumi, Edgar González, Bruno Langa, Sergio Arribas, Gonzalo Melero, Iddrisu Baba, Nico Melamed, Leo Baptistao and Luis Suarez.
📰 Team News: Albacete
Due to a mostly full-strength group, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Albacete manager Alberto González to contend with. Jaume Costa (Fissure of the fibula) won’t be in action.
There’s a good chance that Queso Mecánico appear most likely to utilise a 4-4-2 formation, giving starts to Raúl Lizoain, Javi Rueda, Jon García, Lalo Aguilar, Juan María Alcedo, Juanma, Riki Rodríguez, Alejandro Meléndez, Fidel, Alberto Quiles and Higinio Marín.
🔮 Prediction
In this game, Albacete have the capability to score against this UD Almería outfit, although it probably won’t be enough to prevent defeat.
We can see a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for UD Almería at the end of the 90 minutes. Definitely a tough call.
