UD Almería 'B' visit Group IV Segunda RFEF bottom-team Don Benito
The UD Almería 'B' boys do not rely at all on their opponents' bad situation in the table, despite the fact that the Rojiblancos have lost their reliability on the road. The match will be played at 12 noon on Sunday
UD Almería 'B' visit Segunda RFEF bottom-team Don Benito at 12 noon this Sunday. The match will be held at the Vicente Sanz Stadium in Badajoz. The 'B' team sit fourth in the standings and aspires to play in the promotion play-offs; their opponents are the bottom team 12 points away from league survival.
The game may seem an easy one for Rojiblancos, although it won't be. The Youthful Indálicos aren't relying at all on CD Don Benito's situation in the table. The Extremadura players have played 15 consecutive matches without a win, with a record of 4 draws and 11 losses, but when they have suffered defeats, they have been narrow, so the team competes and never gives up.
At the same time, UD Almería 'B' have not lost confidence on the road. While they lost only once in the first half of the season, in the second half, they have won one, drawn one, and lost three, the last one coming two weeks ago, with a thrashing (4-1 in San Fernando).
Both teams need a win: UD Almería 'B' need to continue their push toward the promotion play-offs, and their opponents to try to make a comeback, although they have a significant burden, trailing safety by 12 points with 7 games remaining.
Alberto Lasarte cannot count on some players and will also be keeping an eye on the needs of the first team. In the first half of the season, they won 2-1 at the Anexo Stadium after overcoming a 0-1 deficit.
