The UD Almeria Stadium is the venue for a La Liga 2 contest on Sunday evening as Almeria takes on league leaders Racing Santander.
Both teams have seen plenty of high-scoring outcomes this season, and another engaging contest seems likely this weekend.
Previous encounters have been evenly balanced, and another competitive contest should be on the cards with both teams showing plenty of attacking quality in the early stages of the new season.

Almeria and Racing Santander have met on 16 occasions since 2007. Both teams claimed five victories, while six games finished level.
Almeria team overview
Almería return to home comforts after maintaining their unbeaten start with a 2:2 draw against Real Sociedad B last weekend. Adrián Embarba struck late to rescue a point for Rubi’s side, who twice had to come from behind.
A high-scoring outcome could be on the cards again this weekend. A minimum of four goals were scored in three of Almeria's four most recent fixtures. The Rojiblancos kicked-off the new season with a remarkable 4:4 draw against Albacete before a narrow 1:0 win against Cultural Leonesa.
Three games into the season, Almeria sit ninth in the division, four points behind Racing Santander.
Almeria have now failed to win four of their last five league matches, and could struggle to contain an in-form opponent this weekend.
Head coach Rubi has no reported injury issues for Sunday's La Liga 2 contest. Adrián Embarba could earn a recall after his goal-scoring substitute appearance against Real Sociedad B.

Racing Santander team overview
Racing make the trip to the UD Almeria Stadium in great form after picking up three successive victories in the first month of the new La Liga 2 season. A brace from Iñigo Vicente helped Los Verdiblancos secure a comfortable 4:1 win against AD Ceuta last weekend.
José Alberto López's side scored ten goals, with a minimum of three goals scored per game in early season victories against Castellon (3:1), Albacete (3:2) and Ceuta (4:1)
Los Verdiblancos are now unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 games (including pre-season friendlies) since the end of last season.
High-scoring outcomes have been a recurring theme in Racing Santander's league fixtures in recent months. The visitors have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in each of their last seven La Liga 2 games.
Head coach López is likely to retain faith in the same XI that eased past Ceuta. The visitors have a full complement of players available for this weekend's fixture.

Prediction
A potentially dramatic and high-scoring La Liga 2 contest seems likely, with plenty of chances at both ends expected.
I'm backing both teams to score, while I also fancy Racing to avoid defeat in a game that could see a minimum of three goals scored.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Almeria have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches (La Liga 2)
- Racing Santander have seen BTTS in their last 7 matches (La Liga 2)
- Racing Santander have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 9 matches against Almeria
