The C.D. Leganés receives this Sunday (14:00 hours) the U.D. Almería in the Municipal Stadium Butarque, in a match corresponding to the twenty-first day of LaLiga SmartBank. The pepineros are looking to close the first round of the championship with three new points in their stadium.
The C.D. Leganés ends the first half of the championship receiving at home an Almería that is two positions ahead of the pepineros in the classification. The white-blue team returns to Butarque after a month without playing home matches, a fiefdom where they have achieved eight victories in ten matches.
José Luis Martí's team is assured of finishing the first round in play-off places, but they want to climb the ladder and get closer to their opponents this Sunday. To do this, the Mallorcan coach will be able to count on almost all his staff after achieving this week the pass to the sixteenth final of the Copa de S.M. El Rey.
The U.D. Almeria wants to assault the positions of direct promotion
For its part, the U.D. Almeria arrives in Butarque ready to place itself in positions of direct promotion or even place itself as a leader if it wins and its direct rivals do not. The red and white team has won in four of the last five days, and is just one point away from the leadership that R.C.D. Espanyol holds at the beginning of the day.
Coach José Gomes will not be able to count on left-back Sergio Akieme, who was sent off in the last league match against S.D. Ponferradina, and maintains the doubt of midfielder Joao Carvalho, who had to be substituted in that match with discomfort. The Andalusians also surpassed their elimination copera by beating the C.D. Numancia by 1-2.
The Galician referee, Mr. Javier Iglesias Villanueva, will referee the match.
