UD Almería to be careful with next trap game
The Rojiblancos must win their penultimate home fixture against Elche CF this Tuesday in their quest for LaLiga Santander survival
UD Almería are prepared to face Elche CF this Tuesday at the Power Horse Stadium (KO 7:30pm CEST/ Matchday 33). It will be their penultimate home fixture of the season, in which the Rojiblancos will do everything in their power to stay up and not to be relegated.
On the one hand, UD Almería are strong at home and having the home advantage will increase their chances of winning as the fans will show up in numbers at the Power Horse Stadium. On the other hand, bottom team Elche CF with 16 points and virtually relegated; is the side that has scored the fewest goals and the ones who conceded the most. They've only added only six points away from home. It is actually a match that does not seem too difficult to win. However, it is a trap game because Elche CF are coming after thrashing Rayo Vallecano 4-0, a victory that took a weight off their shoulders since it is their first victory with a new head coach in the driving seat, and they hope to continue adding points in threes to say goodbye to the campaign in the best way.
UD Almería, as their head coach has stated in the pre-match press conference, must know how to handle the need that they have to win. The support of the fans will be key.
This Monday, the Rojiblancos carried out one last training session to flesh out details at the same stage where the clash will be taking place. The did not have much time to prepare this match since they played away to Real Madrid CF last Saturday.
Babić is available again after serving a one-game ban, although. Injured El Bilal Toure and Kaiky will not feature in the fixture against the Ilicitanos.
