UD Almería 'B' visit Group IV leaders FC La Unión Atlético
The Academy prospects with numerous injured and suspended players, compete at 11:30 this Sunday in Murcia ready to spring the big surprise. The match will be played on artificial grass. 4 points separate both sides
UD Almería 'B' have a demanding test on Matchday 27 against Segunda RFEF Group IV leaders FC La Unión Atlético. The match takes place at 11:30am on an artificial grass turf, which is undoubtedly a handicap for the Rojiblancos. But it won't be the only one because they will also have numerous absences due to injuries, suspensions and the fact that several of their players are training with the first team.
As their head coach Alberto Lasarte said: 'For the umpteenth time we'll have to reinvent ourselves. No biggie. We'll take advantage of the youth players and we'll go out to compete as best as possible.' The gaffer emphasises: 'So far we haven't been able to beat the teams that are ahead in the standings, and despite being affected by the losses, we must take a step forward to show that we can also beat them.'
La Unión are current leaders with 41 points, 4 above UD Almería 'B', who sit 4th in the table, in the promotion play-off zone. In their tier debut, the 'B' team boys have surprised with their results as visitors. They have achieved 4 wins, as many draws and 2 defeats (only one in the entire first half of the season), the last in their recent trip to Linares, so they will try to keep it up and spring the big surprise. The Murcianos have won 7 games, drawn one and lost 3 at home.
