La Liga 2
Almeria vs Eibar
Estadio del Mediterraneo

Preview:
Despite being nestled at the ace of the points table, Almeria have hit an unexpected snag along the way with their winless streak extending to the third game now. Much to their woes, they went down to Lugo in a prolonged contest where the solitary goal for the table-toppers came from the feet of Lugo’s Carlos Pita. With all said and done, the hosts still savour superiority in the points table with a tally of 46 points that came on the back of 14 wins and 4 draws. They will be desperate to return to winning ways as the premier division of Spain beckons them after a seven-year long hiatus. Eibar, on the contrary, are in superior form of late, thanks to their undefeated streak in the last four games. Alvaro Tejero’s late strike sailed them through against Real Oviedo in their last encounter. A win for Eibar will catapult them to the same number of points as that of Almeria and then the contest for the Premier division qualification would be much more cutthroat.

Probable Starting XI:
Almeria:
Fernando Martinez; Alex Centelles, Chumi, Srdan Babic, Juanjo Nieto; Cesar de la Hoz, Samuel Costa; Arvin Appiah, Lucas Robertone, Alejandro Pozo; Largie Ramazani
Eibar:

Top picks:
Edu Exposito will be a screaming pick for captaincy considering the blistering form that he has brought to the table along with himself. He has so far fired 6 goals and 4 assists from the 14 starts that he has got for himself.
Alejandro Pozo is a lethal midfielder and is capable of racking up impressive stats with the current form that he has been in. He has so far fired home 3 goals and stitched an impeccable assist that has come on the back of the 13 shots that he has unleashed.
Captain and vice-captaincy options:
Alejandro Pozo
Edu Exposito
Stoichkov
