Almeria vs Elche Prediction & Tips
Almeria
The team long fought for the right to return to La Liga, testing the patience of current owner Turki Al-Sheikh. Only the bid for Rubi worked, who, however, was given a second chance by the Middle Eastern millionaire after the initial failure – and it worked! What’s more, he himself left the rookie in La Liga. But in the summer of 2023, the ‘red-whites’ got a new coach – and collapsed in the Second Division.
To the board’s credit, they decided not to invent anything and Rubi was back in charge. At first, the results with him were frankly modest. But then they managed to gain momentum. A defeat in the cup against ‘Leganés’ shook the group leader – after which they also failed to win in the second division. Against ‘Depor’ they also suffered a defeat, 1-3.
Elche
The club managed to get promoted to La Liga during the last decade after a fifteen-year break, but then they were relegated after a couple of seasons of play, and soon after that they quickly plummeted to the third division. As soon as they left, the ‘green and white and blue’ were promoted in transit to La Liga, where they remained for three years. And, at the end of 2023, they occupied the last place, staying for now in Segunda. There, last season, they achieved what could be considered a mediocre eleventh place.
In the new tournament, under the management of Eder Sarabia, they managed to improve. Now the team remains among the contenders for the top 6. It is true that, after a 0-4 in the Cup against ‘Atlético’, they only won against ‘Eibar’, drew with ‘Sporting de Gijón’ and lost against ‘Mirandés’. But then, on the last matchday, they beat ‘Tenerife’ 2-0.
