UD Almería 'B' target first home win under Salmerón against Yeclano Deportivo
The new man at the helm of the 'B' team aims to turn the tide in crucial Matchday 11 clash
UD Almería 'B', now under the guidance of José María Salmerón, will look to secure their first home win of the season when they host Yeclano Deportivo this Sunday at 12 noon the Francisco Pomedio Stadium in Huércal de Almería.
The 'B' team, struggling at the bottom of the table, enters the match with renewed hope after a 1-1 draw last week at the Chapín Stadium, ending a run of seven consecutive defeats. However, they remain 9 points adrift of safety, making a victory essential. This will be Mr Salmerón's first home match in charge, and the stakes are high as they aim to overcome their poor home form having lost all of their previous 5 home games.
The challenge will be tough, with Yeclano Deportivo currently in promotion play-off positions and unbeaten in their last five matches, including four wins and one draw. Salmerón acknowledged the difficulty of the task, highlighting Yeclano's strength in both attack and defense. 'They're a very experienced and hardworking team that dominates both penalty areas. It’s going to be a very difficult match, but we'll use all our strengths to try and beat them,' he said.
With free entry for season-ticket holders from both UD Almería and Huércal de Almería, the match promises to be a crucial test for the team as they look to turn their season around.
