    Almeria v Eibar: Preview

    Almeria midfielder Miguel Angel Corona says his side must play their game against Eibar ``like there's no tomorrow''.

    The Andalusians are level on points with the relegation zone with six matches left of the season and Corona knows the outcome of Sunday's game will have a huge effect on whether they succumb to relegation or avoid the drop.

    ``A victory would allow us to look to the future with a certain amount of optimism but a defeat would leave us staring into a dark cloud,'' he told a press conference.

    ``The season doesn't finish on Monday and this won't decide where we finish in the table, but it's true that we have to treat it like there is no tomorrow.''

    Eibar are three points clear of Almeria in the table so a home victory would see them go level with the Basques in the table. And Corona admitted there was an added incentive for his side to win the match after losing to Gaizka Garitano's side in the first half of the season, a defeat that lead to then-coach Francisco Javier Rodriguez getting sacked.

    ``We all remember that game as a dark day and this is a chance for us to exact revenge - on a sporting level, of course,'' said the midfielder.

    ``They were so far ahead of us in the table then but 19 games later we have the chance to go level on points with them, make our life easier and perhaps make theirs more complicated.''

    Michel Macedo, Fran Velez and Fernando Soriano are all injured for Almeria, while Sebastian Dubarbier is suspended. Eibar are still without injured goalkeeper Jaime Jimenez, while forward Angel Rodriguez is out after being diagnosed with apendicitis.

    Both sides have struggled for form in recent weeks, picking up just one win each in their last 10 matches, and Corona said his side have to combine mental and physical strength if they are to take the three points.

    He added: ``We have to play with our hearts but we also have to play with a cool head, and if Eibar try to force us into errors, we can't afford to let them do that, we have to counter them.''

    Almeria out of drop zone after win

    Almeria moved out of the relegation zone with a much-needed 2-0 Primera Division victory over Eibar at the Mediterraneo on Sunday afternoon.

    Thievy Bifouma and Verza were on target in each half as Sergi Barjuan's strugglers claimed just their second win from their last 11 matches to move level on points with their opponents, who sit a spot above them in 16th.

    Eibar, who have won just one of their last 15 games, face a similar task of fighting off relegation with five matches of the season remaining.

    The hosts began the strongest and it did not take long before they started to press for an opener with left-back Jose Manuel Casado sending a long ball forward and causing problems inside the away side's box after six minutes.

    Two minutes later Almeria took the lead through 22-year-old Congo striker Thievy, who collected the ball from Tomer Hemed outside the 18-yard-box and drilled the ball past Xabi Irureta and into the bottom corner.

    The home side appealed for a penalty after Thomas went to ground in the box following a tackle from Didac Vila, but referee Carlos del Cerro Grande waved play on.

    Manu came closest to netting an equaliser for Eibar but sent his effort over the crossbar before Mikel Arruabarrena tested home goalkeeper Ruben, who pulled off a fine save as the half wore on.

    The hosts came out looking for a second after the break and Jonathan Zongo set up Thievy with a great cross but the latter's shot crashed into the bar.

    Thievy came close again as the match approached the hour mark but this time Eibar stopper Xabi Irureta went down to keep his effort out.

    The away side came close with a great chance to equalise minutes later as Borja met a high ball on the edge of the box before sending his effort just wide of the post.

    Almeria doubled their lead after 67 minutes as Brazilian winger Wellington Silva went to ground following a challenge with Vila, with Verza converting the resulting penalty.

    Eibar came close to pulling a goal back through Manu and Federico Piovaccari deep into the second half, but the home side held on for the three points.
