UD Almería in best form of season with 8-game unbeaten streak
The unstoppable Rojiblancos hit top gear with 6 wins, 2 draws and a balanced attack-defence set-up
UD Almería are currently experiencing the best run of their 2025/26 season, boasting an impressive 8-game unbeaten streak that includes 6 wins and 2 draws. Their last 5 home games have all ended in victory, while the team has found the desired balance between attack and defence. The squad is functioning cohesively, with key individual performances standing out across the board.
The unstoppable Rojiblancos are in the best form of the past couple of months, having not lost since 13 September, when they fell 1-0 to Real Valladolid CF. This marks over two months without defeat, making them the standout team over the last 9 Matchdays. Not counting the suspended match against AD Ceuta FC (which was 1-1 at half-time), UD Almería have surged up the table, accumulating 25 points from 14 fixtures, with one game in hand.
In attack, UD Almería have been impressive, finding the back of the net in every match so far. They sit 3rd in the league's top scorers chart with 26 goals, behind Racing Santander (31) and Deportivo La Coruña (27). Their attacking potency, led by Adrián Embarba, who continues to score stunning goals and remains in the running for the Pichichi Trophy (top scorer) despite not being a natural striker, has been a key factor in their success.
Defensively, the Indálicos have made a significant improvement, transforming from one of the most conceding sides to a more solid unit. Their defence has become more stable, placing them comfortably in the middle of the league’s goals-against standings, a sharp contrast to their early struggles at the back.
The squad’s success is also down to their collective approach. While the starting XI has been relatively consistent, head coach Rubi has made changes without disrupting the team’s rhythm. For instance, against Cádiz CF, 4 new faces were introduced to the line-up, yet the quality of play remained high.
The competition in LaLiga Hypermotion remains fierce, with UD Almería now among 5 teams starting to make a real impact. Deportivo La Coruña, Racing Santander, UD Las Palmas and Burgos CF all sit on 26 points, while UD Almería follow closely with 25 points. Cádiz CF (21 points) and Real Valladolid CF (20 points) trail behind.
With one game in hand and the potential points from the AD Ceuta FC match that needs to be finished as it was suspended at half-time (1-1) due to the tragic death of a Ceutí fan, the Rojiblancos could yet find themselves in an even stronger position.
UD Almería are primed for a strong finish to the first half of the season, with both their attack and defence firing on all cylinders.
