Competition: Spanish Monday
Market: Almeria wins
Chances: 2/3 @1xBet
Two teams facing off in the play-off chase, Almeria will host local rivals Cadiz on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, whose trip to Ceuta was ultimately cut short after a spectator became ill from the crowd, Almeria has been given something of a November break. However, impressive again since the start of the 2025/26 season, Rubi’s men are once again listed as a standout contender to claim another play-off ticket this season. With November kicking off with a resounding 3-1 win at home to Eibar, La Union also know they can push their way into the automatic promotion places. Building on their Copa del Rey adventure on October 29, when they recorded a routine 2-0 win at Lorca Deportiva, Almeria will be confident of making another statement here. In fact, the former Real Betis boss has not seen his side suffer a single defeat in their last eight consecutive games in all competitions – a streak dating back to September 13. It should also be emphasized that Rubi’s side have built a reputation for their success on home soil. Including an action-packed 4-2 win against Zaragoza last month, Almeria have won their previous four games in a row in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 10-4.
As for the visitors, while Cadiz may have escaped the trap when they opened the new campaign in August, the Yellow Sub have failed to find a similar level in recent times. Gaizka Garitano’s side, who last produced a toothless performance when they played out a third straight 0-0 stalemate at home to Real Valladolid, have fallen out of the automatic promotion places. Under recent scrutiny, Sunday’s guests have drastically struggled to find any form of stability. Including a 3-1 home draw against Burgos on October 20, Cadiz have managed just one win in their previous seven consecutive Segunda appearances – a slog that stretches back to September 21. Faced with another tough challenge, the Yellows have also shown some extensive problems in the final third. As well as failing to register a single Segunda attack in over 280 minutes of action, Garitano’s men have also made three mistakes in a row.
