Almeria take on the visitors Las Palmas at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos in the 9th tour of the Segunda Division. The match will be played in the eponymous city Almeria on Saturday, October 13th.
Last tour Almeria lost to the last team in the table Cordoba on the away field. That was like a cold shower for the Almeriensistas after them having a three match winning streak where they had scored six goals overall. Quite frankly, their loss to Almeria was random and unexpected. Overall, the Rojiblancos have been looking weaker on the away fields than on their home one recently. They have lost in front of their home crowd only once so far this Segunda Division season to Malaga. In their last three matches overall Almeria lost to Cordoba with a 0-1 score, beat Reus Deportiu with a 2-0 score and Numancia with the same 2-0 score. The team of Fran Fernandez has also had a 1/64-finals fixture of the Copa del Rey recently where they have beaten Malaga with a 2-1 score.

Las Palmas have set the goal for them to get back to the Primera Division for this season. In order to get closer to that goal they have already won half of their eight fixtures so far this 2018/2019 Segunda Division season. However, La Union Deportiva have been showing good performances in front of their home crowd only recently. They have had three away games so far this season and have won only one of them. That has been a bad result for the team of Manolo Jimenez. It`s worth noting that they have been unable to score for two league fixtures in a row now despite of them scoring eleven goals in six matches before. Now they will have to face Almeria who possess one of the best defensive lines in the league so it will be very hard for them to get a victory. Considering that the Segunda Division is a long distance tournament it will be very good for La Union Deportiva to just get a draw in the upcoming fixture. In their last three matches Las Palmas drew against Alcorcon with a 0-0 score, lost to Sporting Gijon with a 0-1 score and beat Malaga with a 1-0 score. The team of Manolo Gimenez has also had a 1/64-finals fixture of the Copa del Rey recently where they have lost to Rayo Majadahonda with a 1-2 score.
Even though Las Palmas have been looking pretty good lately they are not the favourite in the lead-up to the upcoming fixture. On the other hand, Almeria would not be the favourite too. The teams are quite equal now so the result of the upcoming match will most likely depend on the individual skills of the players and the tactics these teams use. Last season the Rojiblancos barely saved them in the Segunda Division in the last tour of that championship. Now they are one of the strongest teams in the league. Furthermore, the Ameriensistas have lost only once in front of their home crowd so far this season. Thereby they should be able to avoid losing on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Almeria to win with 0 handicap.
