UD Almería pack suitcases again for departure to Tenerife

UD Almería will continue to get kitted out as visitors on Matchday 2 of the LaLiga Hypermotion and the Rojiblancos are gearing up to compete at CD Tenerife's home, a stadium that they know perfectly well. In the historical ranking of UD Almería's rivals, the Tenerife outfit is one of the most common. In total, it has been 26 encounters between both teams, which makes CD Tenerife the 7th team that UD Almería have faced the most times throughout its history: 9 victories for the Andalusians, 8 victories for the islanders and another 9 draws. 

 

While it is true that 'it’s no good crying over spilt milk,' it is curious that in the last 4 trips to the Heliodoro Rodríguez López, 4 back-to-back triumphs have been recorded. The Almeriensistas have not lost since the 2016/17 season (1-0), since then achieving a goalless draw and those 4 consecutive victories. History, in football, is made with the present. And Rubi and his players are focused on what awaits them this Saturday on the beautiful island (KO 9:30pm/LaLiga Hypermotion TV/UDA Radio).

 

In addition to CD Tenerife's extra motivation to debut in front of their fans, there is the team's desire to make up for their narrow defeat in Elda (2-1). 

 

The UD Almería squad have focused their work on tactics, both to adjust the defensive retreats and to look fearsome in attack, as displayed in Santander with a frenetic game spell up front. The objective is to get the first victory of the season and fly back to Almería city undefeated at the beginning of the campaign. This Thursday, the training session will be conducted behind closed doors on the Anexo pitch.
