Yes, we’re moving up!
A well-timed reaction and a push for promotion to the top flight. UD Almería climb to 4th place, narrowing the gap to the top spot
UD Almería made a bold statement in La Liga Hypermotion with a resounding 4-2 win against AD Ceuta FC showcasing an impressive first-half performance that left their opponents trailing. The victory marked the end of a 3-game winless streak, their worst run of the season, at a time when their rivals for promotion, including Racing Santander, UD Las Palmas, Málaga CF and Cádiz CF, all failed to secure points.
With the win, the Rojiblancos moved up 2 places in the standings, now sitting 4th, just 3 points behind the automatic promotion spots. They also gained ground on current table-toppers Racing Santander, who failed to extend their advantage. The competition in LaLiga Hypermotion remains tight, with anything possible as it has been seen from the start of the season.
From being on the brink of falling out of play-off contention, UD Almería now have a real shot at promotion, their fortunes having shifted in recent weeks. Their next big challenge comes in Cádiz this Saturday, followed by 2 back-to-back home matches.
The team’s return to form is no accident. Head coach Rubi noted that recovering players from injury and January signings have added new depth and quality to the squad. The increased competition for spots has given UD Almería more resources, alternatives and a greater sense of security moving forward.
December and January had been rough months for the team. After a strong unbeaten run of 9 games, they stumbled with a loss to AD Ceuta FC. But now, having started February with a victory, UD Almería are fully determined to build momentum and string together positive results.
Out of the 4 matches this month, 3 will be held at home. The upcoming clashes against Cádiz CF, FC Andorra and Córdoba CF will be pivotal in their bid for promotion. As their loyal fans chanted after the AD Ceuta FC triumph: 'Yes, we’re moving up!'
