UD Almería have passed the halfway point in their preparations for Sunday's match against CD Leganés, which kicks off at 4:15pm (Spanish Time) at the UD Almería Stadium. The Rojiblancos will play at home for the second consecutive time with the firm intention of extending their winning run. In fact, head coach Xavier García Pimienta's side are aiming to take it to the level of 6 consecutive victories while also continuing to turn the UD Almería Stadium into a fortress, with no visiting side having managed to take a point there so far.

UD Almería have played 4 home games and recorded 4 victories...a perfect record that makes them the only team in Spain's second tier to have won every home match. They have scored 10 goals and conceded 3. Neither SD Eibar nor CD Castellón, currently first and second in the table respectively, can match these figures. SD Eibar have won 3 and lost 1 at home, while CD Castellón have recorded 2 victories and 2 draws. Away from home, however, both sides have maintained a perfect record.

The Rojiblancos trained behind closed doors at the training base and they will also train behind closed doors at the Stadium on both Friday and Saturday.

Third-placed UD Almería are taking nothing for granted against CD Leganés. Despite their excellent numbers, the team know that the only way to maintain their current run is by competing at the highest level. Soko and Álvaro Morata's side head to Almería after 2 consecutive defeats, the latest a heavy 4-0 loss in Cádiz, but they have also been capable of producing strong results away from home. They will also arrive determined to put things right and what better place to do so than Almería? The warning signs are there.
