Almeria will host Real Racing Club at the UD Almeria Stadium on Sunday in the fourth round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have had a mixed start to their league campaign and now sit ninth in the table with five points from three matches as they target consecutive appearances in the promotion playoffs.
They played out a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad B U21 last time out, falling behind in both halves and coming back to draw level on each occasion via efforts from Nicolas Melamed and Adrian Embarba.
Real Racing Club, meanwhile, have enjoyed a perfect start to their season and have begun an early push for a return to La Liga for the first time in almost 15 years. They coasted to a 4-1 win over newly-promoted Ceuta in their game at the weekend featuring goals from three different players including star midfielder Inigo Vicente who netted a brace.
The visitors sit atop the table with nine points from an obtainable nine and will be keen to extend their winning streak when they play on Sunday.

Racinguistas will head into the weekend on a high having won each of their three games this term. They have, however, struggled for results on the road all year and may have to settle for a point here.
