Almeria vs Eibar prediction, preview, team news and more | Segunda Division 2021-22

Segunda Division action will see Almeria host Eibar at the Estadio del Mediterraneo on Monday.

Almeria are currently slumbering in their race for promotion as results in recent games have not gone in their favor. They were beaten 2-1 by CD Lugo last time out and had to rely on a late own goal to get on the scoresheet after failing to create any noteworthy chances all game.

The hosts remain top of the table with 46 points from 23 games. They will, however, be looking to widen their lead at the top as they chase a return to the top-flight after a seven-season absence.

Eibar, on the other hand, are performing well at the moment in their pursuit of promotion. They played out a 1-1 draw against Real Oviedo in their last game, with fullback Alvaro Tejero scoring a late equalizer for his side. They are now unbeaten in their last four league games.

Eibar sit third in the league standings, just three points behind Monday's hosts, and will be looking to draw level when the two sides face off next week.
