Almería dominates andalusian derbies in laliga hypermotion

In a season marked by intense local rivalries, UD Almería has come out on top in the Andalusian derby stakes. With just five matches remaining in the regular season, the rojiblancos have already navigated their full slate of confrontations with Córdoba, Cádiz, Málaga, and Granada.

Impressive balance against regional foes

Almería's dominance is evident in their head-to-head record against these southern Spanish rivals. They've won six of eight derbies, with victories over Cádiz and Granada at home and away, a 3-2 win over Málaga, a 1-1 draw with Córdoba, and a narrow 1-0 defeat in La Rosaleda against Málaga.

This impressive run has seen Almería accumulate 19 points from their Andalusian encounters, a significant lead over their regional rivals. Only Málaga, also in the promotion hunt, can approach these impressive numbers, with 14 points from four wins, two draws, and two defeats.

Cádiz, battling to avoid relegation, has managed just seven points from their five derbies, with two wins, one draw, and two losses. The remaining two Andalusian clubs, Córdoba and Granada, are locked on six points each after three draws and a single win apiece.

Almería's supremacy in these local derbies has not gone unnoticed, with tensions rising between some fans and their Andalusian counterparts. Rubi's team has set a high standard, and their success has only heightened the emotional intensity of these already fiercely contested matches.
