The yellow team aims to make a statement at the Almería Stadium (5:30 PM, TVC) to banish season's ghosts and prove their ability to defeat a direct competitor. The victory would not only provide momentum for a nail-biting season finale but also honor a fanbase that has shown unwavering support.

Despite direct promotion chances fading after the recent defeat against Andorra, the squad and coaching staff, led by Luis García, remain hopeful of ascending to the First Division. The coach has labeled the match against Almería as a 'final,' a word previously avoided but now significant with only three games left in the season.

Currently, UD Las Palmas sits fifth in the standings with 66 points, level with Málaga. The island team needs to secure points to maintain its playoff position, as teams like Castellón, Eibar, and Burgos are closely trailing.

For this crucial match, Luis García will be without Recoba, Barcia, Loiodice, and Ale García, the latter suffering a season-ending injury. However, they welcome back Jonathan Viera, who returns to the squad after a four-game absence and is eager to contribute his experience to reverse the team's poor run against top opponents. The '21' knows Almería well from his past with the club.

Opposing them will be Almería, managed by Rubi and spearheaded by top scorer Sergio Arribas. The home team is undefeated at home and is competing for direct promotion. With only Lopy suspended due to card accumulation, Almería aims to contain Luis García's side and recover from last week's draw. Both teams are in urgent need of a win after weekend setbacks.
