UD Almería Under-19s 'A' switch to league mode after sealing passage to Spanish Cup semis following a 0-1 victory over UD Las Palmas U19s. Now, Alberto Lasarte's boys are focusing once again on their upcoming away match against neighbours Málaga CF U19. The hosts edged their way past Barça under-19s (0-1) in the last-16 tie, but will go into this game after losing 1-2 to Real Madrid CF U19 in the Spanish cup quarter-final tie.

Focusing on the league competition, the Malacitano side sit 5th in the Group IV table with 43 points. Before sharing the spoils with the youngsters from Algeciras, they celebrated three victories on the spin. On the other hand, the unstoppable Indalicos will face the next fixture with a three-point advantage over runners-up Real Betis U19 and the greatest enthusiasm after having qualified for the Copa del Rey Juvenil semi-finals.

A tough-looking match is expected with head coach Alberto Lasarte having no choice but to ring the changes since some squad members contracted a virus infection before the cup tie on the Spanish island.
