Stuttering Almeria host an in-form Ibiza at the Municipal Stadium of the Mediterranean Games on Friday in the Segunda Division.
The Rojiblancos are currently winless in their last six games in all competitions, including five in the league, which has seen them drop from first position in the standings to third.
In fact, they've lost each of their last three games and will be desperate to return to winning ways.
Ibiza, meanwhile, are on the rise, unbeaten in their last four games, including three wins, to climb up to 10th.
They're still 11 points behind the Andalusian side but can cut the gap to eight with a win here.

Almeria vs Ibiza Prediction
The Andalusian side may sit above Ibiza but their form is contrasting right now, with the former looking more like a mid-table side and the latter a promotion contender.
Ibiza are riding a wave of confidence after going their last four league games unbeaten and will have revenge on their minds for their earlier defeat to Rubi's side.
Given the home side's struggles of late, they should be able to secure all three points here.
Prediction: Almeria 1-2 Ibiza
