Prediction

  • Almeria did extremely well to stave off relegation last season. In their effort to do so again, the club have rejuvenated the squad and reduced the average age by two years, making them the fourth youngest team in the league. This should ensure that the hunger remains at Juegos Mediterraneos.
  • Espanyol have been boosted by the news that Sergio Garcia has renewed his contract at the club. A relatively quiet summer transfer season will see Garcia remain as the go-to-man in attack.
