Rubi commented in the preview of the match against Eibar that he was aware that his team was not entering the last games well. The same thing happened against the Eibar team, with the score in their favor after nine minutes thanks to a goal by Edu Expósito (0-2 on the final score). Taking a look at the figures, it is observed that Almería needs to hit first, since, as happens with the vast majority of teams, it is very difficult for them to turn the electronic.
Specific, of the eight matches that the Almeria have started below, in five of them they have ended up losing, saving two draws and managing to come back from one. The first time that the UDA started losing was on matchday 5, when Paris Adot overtook Ponferradina in El Toralín, and the score did not move any further. On the tenth date, more of the same happened, with Stoichkov scoring the winning goal for Eibar in Ipurúa. In three of their last four games, Almería also started and ended up losing despite having enough time to come back. Gastón Silva put Cartagena ahead in the Mediterranean in the 39th minute (0-1 on the final score), Berreiro overtook Lugo in the 4th minute (2-1 for the people from Lugo) and Edu Expósito overtook Eibar in Almería in the 8th minute (0 -two).
In Fuenlabrada, the rojiblancos did manage to get a point on matchday 19, Villar equalizing Zozulya’s goal, and on matchday 22, in Las Palmas, Appiah neutralized Viera’s goal. The only comeback came in the seventeenth. De la Hoz, with his own goal, put Valladolid ahead at the Mediterranean Games Stadium. Rubi’s men managed to leave the three points at home thanks to goals from Ramazani, Akieme and Portillo, who had come on from the bench.
Thus, it stands out that of the last seven games, Almería only managed to hit the first in one (Zaragoza); while in the first sixteen days, he did it in fourteen. In addition, the first goal has reported up to 40 points. Of the fifteen occasions in which the rojiblancos have gone ahead, on thirteen of them they have ended up winning. Only the Amorebieta and Las Palmas managed to fish. In the case of the Basques, they came from behind Curro Sánchez’s goal in the 5th minute in Lezama, with goals from Bilbao and Obieta. Jonathan Viera, meanwhile, got a point for Las Palmas in the Mediterranean, scoring in added time and nullifying Portillo’s goal.
