Team News: UD Almería
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the UD Almería manager Rubi Ferrer Sicilia to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Iddrisu Baba (Cruciate ligament surgery) will miss out.
It’s our opinion that UD Almería may well use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Fernando Martínez, Marc Pubill, Edgar González, Chumi, Álex Centelles, Dion Lopy, Silvi Clua, Arnau Puigmal, Sergio Arribas, Leo Baptistao and Luis Suarez.
📰
Team News: Real Oviedo
We’re of the thinking that Carbayones might make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, starting Aaron Escandell, Nacho Vidal, David Costas, Dani Calvo, Rahim Alhassane, Santiago Cazorla, Cesar De La Hoz, Santiago Colombatto, Jaime Seoane, Haissem Hassan and Daniel Paraschiv.
🔮
