UD Almería keep motivation high ahead of fixture against RCD Espanyol
After the World Cup break, the next direct rival from Catalonia is one of the teams with the best away form while the Rojiblancos remain strong on home turf.
UD Almería have completed the second of the three training sessions that they have planned to prepare themselves for Friday's encounter against RCD Espanyol de Barcelona. The Rojiblancos, who had an active recovery session last Tuesday after Monday's meeting with Valencia CF, have started this Wednesday to plan the game tactics at the Power Horse Stadium, where they will get together again for more training this Thursday evening.
The Indálicos will be hosting direct rivals, who are placed 1 point above them in the table, so if UD Almería won, they would take a huge step forward with more than 20 points earned to their name over the first half of the season, which is half of the total number of points needed to avoid the drop.
The coaching staff worked the players into the ground in order to inspire them to become the best version of themselves this Friday against rivals who will go into the game after achieving positive results and becoming the third team with the best away form following the World Cup break.
The Blanquiazules have bagged 8 out of 12 possible points and only Real Sociedad and Villarreal CF got better scores. In addition, RCD Espanyol de Barcelona have collected 11 away points since the beginning of the season what makes them one of the outfits with the best away form in the Spanish top tier.
