UD Almería will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 1-2 Copa del Rey triumph over S.S. Reyes.
The only scorer from UD Almería was Arnau Puigmal (39', 42').
It has been seldom in recent games that UD Almería have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that UD Almería have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 11 goals along the way. Let’s find out if that trend will be sustained here.
Coming into this contest, UD Almería are unbeaten in their last 3 home league matches.

The numbers tell their own story, and Córdoba CF have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 6 goals overall. In defence, Córdoba CF just haven’t been too solid at all.

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the UD Almería boss Rubi Ferrer Sicilia to be concerned about due to a largely intact group of players. Lucas Robertone (Shoulder injury) is sidelined.
