UD Almería set to face Elche CF in penultimate friendly before league start
Preparation Match set for Friday in Lorca with kick-off at 7:30pm (Spanish Time). Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr FC are visiting the UD Stadium on Sunday
UD Almería will play their penultimate pre-season friendly against LaLiga EA Sports side Elche CF this Friday at the Francisco Artés Carrasco Stadium in Lorca, Murcia. The match, which kicks off at 7:30pm (Spanish Time), will be streamed live on the Club's YouTube channel, UDA Radio, and Dipalme Radio.
Tickets are priced at €10, with a strong presence of travelling UDA fans expected due to the proximity of the fixture. The game will be the 5th of the pre-season series, following previous summer encounters with Málaga CF, Al Jazira Club, Marbella FC, and Águilas FC.
With just a week remaining before the official league campaign begins, this friendly, alongside Sunday's thrilling clash against Al Nassr FC, will provide a final test for Rubi's squad ahead of their league opener against Albacete Balompié on 18 August
The Rojiblancos performed tactical and strategy drills at the UD Almería Stadium this Thursday, their first return to the ground since last season's promotion play-off semi-final against Real Oviedo. Unfortunately, Nelson Monte (ankle), Bruno Iribarne (hand), and Baba (recovery) will miss the match due to injury.
