UD Almería are gearing up for Sunday’s pivotal match against CD Castellón at the UD Almería Stadium, with hopes of extending their 5-game unbeaten streak. The Rojiblancos have shown noticeable improvement this season, winning their last two home fixtures and climbing to 5th place in the league standings, just outside the automatic promotion spots.
Under the guidance of head coach Rubi, the team are focused on maintaining their momentum ahead of Matchday 11. With only a few points separating the top positions in a tightly-contested league, consistency is key as UD Almería look to secure another positive result, particularly during their upcoming home double-header.
After a mixed start to the 2025/26 season, which included a share of the spoils with Albacete BP and a narrow loss to Racing de Santander, UD Almería have found the right balance between attack and defence. Recent victories over Sporting de Gijón and Real Zaragoza have boosted confidence and set the stage for another strong performance.
This season’s form is a marked improvement over last year’s 17th-place finish at this point, when the Indálicos had only 12 points. Currently sitting 5th with 16 points and a positive goal difference, the Rojiblancos are on track to challenge for promotion.
However, despite the positive outlook, some injury concerns remain, with Horta and Chumi confirmed to sit out Sunday’s match. The coaching staff will monitor other players' fitness leading up to the next fixture against CD Castellón.
