Rubi’s men are running at a different pace

Adrian Embarba remains Almeria’s main goal threat with nine goals in 16 appearances in the league, but Sergio Arribas has found his scoring form in recent weeks, netting three of Almeria’s last eight league goals in their previous five games. The Union Deportiva Almeria vs Burgos CF betting tips suggest a close contest based on both sides’ recent form.
Burgos are a patient team with a disciplined mid-block
Luis Ramis took charge of Burgos CF in late October, but his style of play is already ingrained in this squad. Union Deportiva Almeria vs Burgos CF prediction becomes particularly intriguing because Burgos are a compact team that do not overpress but play with a phase-aware discipline and patient build-up.
Burgos’ mid-block is solid and disciplined and they will try to stifle Almeria’s forward momentum in this game by pressuring their wing-backs and forcing them into deep transitions. David Gonzalez leads the CF scoring charts with four goals in 16 games, while Mario Gonzalez has scored both of Burgos’ last two goals in the last five.
This game is likely to be a fascinating clash of styles in which Almeria are the clear favorite to take all the points based on their superior home record, greater attacking firepower and the odds on offer, but Burgos’ away form suggests they can make it competitive.
