Almería vs Deportivo La Coruña Match Preview
A decisive six-pointer for the bottom fight, Deportivo wants to celebrate their second victory away this season as they visit Almeria, a rival that didn't hesitate on eliminating them from the Copa del Rey a few weeks ago. Jose Luis Oltra's Almeria performed outstandingly in the last three games at home (defeating Osasuna and Espanyol and rescuing a point against Real Madrid).Michel's and Carlos Garcia's absence join Almeria's extensive list of injured players. Almeria won the three times they've faced Almeria so far this season, a record to keep in mind as Miguel Angel Lotina's boys visits the Juegos Mediterraneos. The hosts must make it a fortress to stop Deportivo to escape to the upper half of the positions table.
Argentinean strikers Leonardo Ulloa and Pablo Piatti will have to assume command of Almeria's leadership, and they both should be kept under a close watch.
Deportivo's coach Miguel Angel Lotina misses Xisco for this game. Lotina will most likely repeat his 4-man defensive back line with a strong presence on the wings to overwhelm Almeria. A victory can take Deportivo to the 12th position, while a defeat might bring them awkwardly close to the relegation line. A vital clash for the future of the bottom fight, who'll bag the three points?
