Mirandes (home)
- CD Mirandes has won two, drawn one and lost six of their 2025-2026 LaLiga 2 home matches.
- Jesus Galvan took over at Mirandes in November 2025 and has made the team more compact and pragmatic.
- They now play a 4-2-3-1 formation and can be very compact at times, but will also push players forward to play fast breaks.
- Their average of 0.67 goals per game scored in their home LaLiga 2 games and 1.67 conceded per game help explain why they sit 22nd with 16 points from 20 games.
Almeria (away)
- Union Deportiva Almeria are flying high in third place in LaLiga 2 and have accumulated 35 points from their 20 games in the second tier of Spanish soccer.
- Almeria has won four, drawn three and lost three of their ten LaLiga 2 away matches.
- Rubi’s side have been pushing for promotion since he instilled his attacking, high-tempo, vertical football philosophy onto the club in July 2024.
- They are clearly a better side than Mirandes who enter this matchup on a run of five games won zero, drawn one and lost four in LaLiga 2, so there should be no argument that the bookmakers have got it right in making the visitors the 2.11 favourites on Saturday.
Head-to-Head
Almeria , who have won one and drawn the other of the past two games between the clubs, are unbeaten in the last two meetings, including a 0-0 at Mirandes’s Estadio Municipal de Anduva .
Key Players
- Sergio Arribas has been a revelation for Almeria, scoring 10 times in 20 games in the LaLiga 2 campaign.
- He has bagged three in the last five and looks a good contender to score here if Almeria can break through the Mirandes defense.
- In Carlos Fernandez, Mirandes have an in-form goalscorer with 8 in 18 games, and he has scored 2 of the team's last 3 goals.
Betting Insights
- Almeria is the clear bookmaker’s favorite at 2.11 compared with Mirandes at 3.64.
- The visitors have conceded 13 in 10 away games in the league, so 'Under 2.5 goals' at 1.84 looks like a solid play here.
Prediction
Backing Almeria to win this match should be profitable enough given their form and league position is much superior to Mirandes, but the bookmakers have been a bit generous to them considering the hosts’ new-found ability to clog the middle of the field and their new coach’s penchant for playing deep.
