UD Almería Women resume league action after a 22-day break, welcoming CFF Mvrgi to the Emilio Campra Youth Stadium for a local derby kicking off at 12 noon this Sunday.

The Rojiblancas head into the fixture as clear leaders of Group IX, while the El Ejido-based side sit mid-table, albeit with an impressive away record that includes 4 wins, 1 draw and just a single defeat on the road. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, UD Almería Women claimed a convincing 4-0 victory.

Keen to avoid any hint of complacency, the Indálicas will be bolstered by the return of centre-back Esther Pascual Cerdán. The 22-year-old left-footed defender rejoins the club after a spell with Burgos CF Women in the Segunda RFEF Women, strengthening the squad for the second match of the season’s second half.
