Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
For Almería, this fixture represents a crucial opportunity to return to the top six and continue their push for promotion. They currently trail the play-off zone by two points, but with a match against one of the Segunda División’s struggling sides ahead, securing three points is essential. Racing de Ferrol have already lost their mathematical chances of survival and are now playing out the season without motivation.
Almería
Almería are unbeaten in their last 15 matches. Additionally, they have scored in 16 of their last 17 home fixtures. This comes as little surprise, given that they are the most prolific in the Segunda División, netting 60 goals in 36 matches. Luis Suárez has been the standout performer for Almería, scoring 23 goals and leading the division’s scoring charts.
Racing de Ferrol
Racing de Ferrol, with no competitive motivation remaining, sit 16 points adrift of safety, a gap that can no longer be closed. They only managed to end a seven-match goalless streak in the previous round by defeating fellow strugglers Eldense (1:0). However, the visitors’ overall statistics remain bleak: across their last eight matches, Racing de Ferrol have managed to score just one goal, and they have lost six of their last seven away fixtures.
Almería vs Racing de Ferrol Prediction
The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a comprehensive 4:1 victory for Almería. Now occupying opposite ends of the standings, the home side’s advantage appears even more pronounced. Almería require three points to break into the play-off zone, and a match against an already eliminated side should not pose significant problems.
