UD Almería Women have a golden opportunity to take a giant step towards achieving their goal of securing survival in Group III of the women's tier Segunda RFEF when they face CF Unión Viera, from Las Palmas, this Sunday at 12 noon. The match, which will be played at the Emilio Campra Youth Stadium, is part of Matchday 9.

Following last weekend’s break, league action resumes this weekend. Before the pause, the Rojiblancas had collected 4 points from their last 6 available. They drew away to Real Betis Balompié Women before claiming their first league victory with a 1-0 win over fellow Canary Islands side Guiniguada Apolinario. Those results have brought them closer to the safety zone, which is currently just 3 points away. Their opponents on Sunday are also 3 points ahead of them, making this a crucial encounter for both sides.

CF Unión Viera have managed just one league victory, the same as UD Almería Women, but have picked up 4 draws, including 2 away from home against Getafe (1-1) and Málaga CF Women (3-3). UD Almería Women, who have struggled to see out games after taking the lead, now face a historic club and one of the pioneers of women’s football in the Canary Islands. Unión Viera are in their fourth season in the Segunda RFEF, and their second consecutive campaign at this level.

It promises to be a demanding test, with Unión Viera travelling to UD Almería Women determined to take all 3 points and give themselves some breathing space in the standings. However, the Indálicas are equally determined to build on their recent upturn in form and confirm that their revival in the league is well underway.
