UD Almería 'B' are playing host to Atlético Malagueño this Sunday (KO 12 noon Spain time). A feisty encounter against neighbours Atlético Malagueño is expected to once again get back on the winning trail and the play-off positions.

The next rivals sit 5th on 32 points, which is the last place that gives access to the fight for promotion to a higher tier. As for the 'B' team Rojiblancos, they are in the 8th position with 30 points bagged. In other words, a victory for the hosts, depending on other results, could bring Óscar Fernández's lads to the VIP spots.

The side from Malaga will head into this tough-looking match on the back of a defeat to relegation-threatened FC Málaga City. Prior to that loss, the next visitors rode on a ten-week unbeaten run after playing some brilliant games creating defensive solidity. They only conceded three goals in those ten fixtures and recorded four back-to-back goalless stalemates.

As a result, the UDA Academy prospects will have to be very sharp in attack if they want to find their way past the opponent keeper. They won one of their last five games, while they drew twice and lost another two, so they will go the extra mile to return to winning ways against direct rivals Malaga-based outfit.
