Almeria Target Playoff Reach as Cordoba Seek Escape
Cordoba host Almeria at the Estadio Nuevo Arcángel with both sides desperate to ignite their early-season campaigns after inconsistent starts.
Cordoba sit 19th in the table, currently inside the relegation zone with 38 games remaining. Iván Ania’s side has struggled defensively, conceding ten goals in just four matches. They enter this clash following a 3-2 defeat to Sabadell, though they did manage a 2-1 home win over Girona in their previous outing at El Arcángel.
Almeria occupy 12th place, sitting just one point and six places off the playoff positions. García Pimienta’s men come into the tie buoyed by a thrilling 3-2 victory over Cadiz, though they are looking to rectify a poor away record following consecutive 1-0 losses on the road against Tenerife and Sabadell.
