UD Almería set sights on FC Andorra with optimism after Cup setback
The Rojiblancos prepare for third away game in a fortnight. Soko's absence due to the recent death of his father
UD Almería are determined to bounce back from their midweek Cup disappointment, with a trip to Andorra this Friday marking their next challenge. The team have little time to regroup but remains focused on getting back to winning ways, having only lost 1 of their last 11 league fixtures.
Patrick Soko, who has been granted leave following the recent death of his father, will not travel with the squad. Despite the short turnaround and heavy schedule, 3 away matches in less than a fortnight, head coach Rubi is focused on preparing his team for a tough encounter in the Pyrenees.
The match, set for 2pm (Spanish Time) on Saturday, presents an unusual challenge with the chilly temperatures and early kick-off time. It will be UD Almería’s first-ever meeting with FC Andorra and Rubi’s men are eager to claim 3 points to keep their strong league form intact.
