Prediction for the match Almería vs Elche
The "Red-Whites" under Rubi finally made it to La Liga and even managed to stay there. However, before last season, the manager left the post, and the team immediately lost its place in La Liga. The "Green-Striped" returned to Segunda in 2023. They finished last season in 11th place.
