UD Almería will try to seize this excellent opportunity
The Rojiblancos face at 8:30pm this Tuesday the match against Córdoba CF that was postponed due to the AEMET warning on 3rd November. A triumph could put them in a privileged place in the standings
UD Almería are playing at 8:30pm this Tuesday the match against Córdoba CF, which was postponed on 3 November due to the warning issued from the AEMET (Spain's Met Office). It is a match that comes when UD Almeria are at their electric best. In fact, they have added 16 of the last 18 points at stake, they have begun to become stronger at home with 3 wins on the bounce and have also won their 3 most recent games against Elche CF (1-2), Deportivo de La Coruña (2-1) and FC Cartagena (1-2).
Andalusian guests Córdoba CF have not lost at home, but in their travels they have only picked up one point. The Indálicos do not take their next rivals for granted at all and their situation in the table, where they are now in the relegation zone.
'They (Córdoba CF) can react when you least expect and they use good tactics for this,' warned head coach Rubi in the pre-match press conference. The Rojiblancos must seize this opportunity because a victory would mean for UD Almería to continue improving their excellent records and position themselves in an automatic promotion spot because they would catch up with CD Mirandés, who are second in the standings at the moment.
The Indálicos have had little time to prepare for this Andalusian meeting since last Saturday, they played against FC Cartagena, last Sunday they focused on recovery work-outs and only last Monday have they been able to focus on the tactics and game strategy for the encounter at the UD Almería Stadium.
Rubi will not be able to count on Edgar, who has to serve a one-match suspension, nor on Robertone, who will not be available until January 2025. Melero has recovered from his muscle issue, but until the last minute it will not be decided whether he plays or not.
The squad members will gather at noon this Tuesday at the Gran Fama Hotel, where they will have lunch and rest before heading to the Stadium to face this match.
