Almeria, among the best in the category
Almeria arrives at Montilivi with a solid trajectory: eight wins, two draws, and two losses in the first twelve rounds, with 23 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last five matches, they have achieved three wins and two draws. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw at Eibar’s stadium.
The Andalusian team boasts an offensive duo that has gained prominence in recent weeks. Miguel de la Fuente and Sergio Arribas have scored seven goals between them in the last five rounds. De la Fuente provides a strong presence in the area and finishing ability, while Arribas contributes creativity and attacking runs from midfield. Attention will also be needed for Brian Cipenga, who has scored three goals this season, and Thalys, who has netted two. Their contributions expand Almeria’s offensive options and require Girona to stay focused against the various threats posed by their opponent.
