The case of promotion to La Liga between Eibar, Valladolid and Almeria is evolving into a race for three. Almeria, who has been leading this race since the beginning of the season, made the expected belly that each team makes in January and is now pushing at the end to win one of the first two places. After the victories made by the other two at the weekend, Almeria is obliged to win today as well, in order to rise again to the 2nd place and to give value to the 2-2 draw that it took in the seat of its direct competitor, Valladolid before one week.
The obstacle of Sporting Gijon seems more passable than the moment when in the previous home Almeria prevailed with the imposing 3-0 of the very good and dangerous Ponferandina. The team from Gijon comes from the big hatred derby that welcomed Oviedo, gave everything in order to deprive their opponent of points and throw her out of the top six but did not succeed and lost 0-1 and in the end became a loss between players.
The guest is empty after this defeat, but not comfortable since the +7 she has from the last four with 6 games before the end can become stressful with a wrong result. A defeat will not be considered a wrong result except for Almeria, which is a much better team than Sporting, with a stronger motivation at the moment and has the first say in this match. The second best attack and defense of the category will determine the pace of the match and can reach victory if it is presented properly and I believe it will do so now that we are in the final straight. I bet on 1 + over 1,5 goals in the match as I wait for Almeria to prevail in a match that will move to the edge of the over.
