UD Almería's clock seeks perfect timing
The Rojiblancos look to jump up the table as the clocks spring forward this weekend
The hands of the clock will 'jump' forward by one hour this weekend and UD Almería are aiming to make a leap of their own in the standings with the arrival of daylight saving time.
UD Almería are eager to squeeze every possible minute out of the clock to reconnect with their fans at the UDA Stadium. Spring hands them the perfect opportunity this weekend with the new summer schedule. The Rojiblancos won’t miss the lost hour in the early hours of Sunday morning. Instead, like the clock hands, Rubi’s men are targeting a reverse jump, not from 2 to 3, but from 3rd to 2nd place in the table.
The time change is designed to make better use of daylight and UD Almería hope to benefit as well from playing at home. Among the top sides in LaLiga Hypermotion, only the Rojiblancos and Málaga CF will be hosting their matches in this match week, a factor that could prove decisive in such a tight and competitive league.
Joan Francesc Ferrer Sicilia 'Rubi' and his squad have been training behind closed doors at the UDA Stadium, riding high on confidence after 6 wins, 1 draw and just 1 defeat in their last 8 matches. There is also a special excitement about returning home. This Saturday evening, they will carry out their final rehearsal.
And speaking of time, Matchday 32 marks the beginning of the final countdown in the Segunda, with just 10 Matchdays remaining, a thrilling run-in that promises one of the most exciting finishes in recent years in Spain’s silver tier.
