UD Ibiza vs UD Almeria predictions for this Liga Smartbank clash on Sunday at Can Misses Stadium. Almeria, who are in incredible form, travel to the Balearic Islands to face an Ibiza side that is very close to the play-off places. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
UD Ibiza
Despite being newly promoted to the category, Ibiza are a fearless side who will give anyone a run for their money, which is why they currently occupy seventh position, having won three of their last five matches.
In seven home games, Ibiza have two wins, four draws, and just one defeat. Scoring nine goals and conceding seven, they are difficult to hurt when playing at home.
UD Almería
After targeting promotion to La Liga Santander in the last two seasons and falling just short, Almeria seem to be going for it again this year. They are top of the table with a six-point lead over second-placed Eibar.
Almeria are the best away team so far; they are the highest scoring team (29 goals in 15 games); they have conceded the fewest goals (joint with Real Zaragoza on 11 goals in 15 games), and they have probably the best player in the league, the Nigerian Umar Sadiq.
There have been three consecutive clean sheets for Almeria, who are at the top of their game.
Despite the fact that Ibiza are doing very well, and have stood out for their strong defensive play, especially in the last few games, we think that Almeria are the favourites to win. They are in formidable form right now, and feeling confident, making them very dangerous. We don’t, however, think it will be a landslide victory.
