Team News: UD Almería
Due to a mostly available group, there is just the lone fitness issue for the UD Almería gaffer Rubi Ferrer Sicilia to be concerned about. Rachad Fettal (Meniscus tear) won’t be in action.
We reckon that UD Almería could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Luís Maximiano, Alejandro Pozo, Chumi, Edgar González, Bruno Langa, Lucas Robertone, Dion Lopy, Arnau Puigmal, Sergio Arribas, Leo Baptistao and Luis Suarez.
💡
Prediction
Our feeling is that UD Almería and Deportivo de La Coruña may well both score, with little between these two teams.
It appears that a draw might be on the cards. We’re therefore predicting a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline when the full-time whistle blows.
