Competition: Spanish Segunda
Market: Almeria win
Odds: 2/3 @ 1xBet
Two sides who find themselves scrapping it out in the play-off chase, Almeria will host local rivals Cadiz on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, with their trip to Ceuta eventually prematurely scrapped due to a spectator falling ill the crowd, Almeria have been handed somewhat of a November break. However, once again impressing since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Rubi’s men are once again pencilled in as a standout contender to claim another play-off ticket this season. Getting November underway with a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Eibar, La Union also know that they could skyrocket their way into the automatic promotion spots. Extending on their Copa del Rey adventure on October 29th as they secured a routine 2-0 win away at Lorca Deportiva, Almeria will be confident of making another statement here. In fact, the former Real Betis boss has not seen his squad suffer a single defeat from any of their last eight consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to September 13th. It should also be highlighted, Rubi’s side have gained a reputation for their success on home soil. Including an action-packed 4-2 victory against Zaragoza last month, Almeria have won their previous four straight matchups in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 10-4.
As for the visitors, although Cadiz might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the new campaign back in August, the Yellow Submarine have failed to find a similar level over recent times. Last seen putting in another toothless display as they played out a third consecutive 0-0 stalemate at home against Real Valladolid, Gaizka Garitano’s side have come tumbling out the automatic promotion spots. Coming under recent scrutiny, Sunday’s guests have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Including a 3-1 drumming at home against Burgos on October 20th, Cadiz have mustered just a single win from any of their previous seven straight Segunda appearances – a rut that stems back to September 21st. Facing another stern challenge here, the Yellows have also shown some extended issues in the final third. Along with failing to notch a single Segunda strike in over 280 minutes of action, Garitano’s men have also drawn three consecutive blanks on the road.
