UD Almería prepare for another LaLiga SmartBank challenge
The Rojiblancos are taking on Tenerife, the team that have conceded the fewest goals just as current leaders Ponferradina. This Thursday, practice in the Mediterraneo
The UD Almería footballers are preparing for Friday’s home game against CD Tenerife. It will be a new challenge for the Rojiblancos, who are hosting rivals who have conceded the fewest goals just as current leaders SD Ponferradina in the championship this season.
UD Almeria, who are the highest scoring team in the competition so far, are going to test their attacking potential against the Chicharreros looking to continue feeling safe at home. In fact, UD Almería have only played two home games in six match weeks, with wins over Real Oviedo and Málaga CF. After defeating AD Alcorcón, Rubi's men are eager to clinch a second consecutive victory to remain at the top of the second tier table.
The squad exercised behind closed doors at the Juegos Mediterraneos Stadium this Wednesday, where they are meeting this Thursday again to complete their set-up for the official appointment. Rubi has already confirmed that Akieme, Aitor Buñuel and Carrriço will miss this game, however the Portuguese could be up for selection to take on Girona FC. Makaridze is available again and Juan Villar, who last week joined his team-mates after two months injured, could be named in the squad list.
