Ibiza host an in-form Stuttering Almeria at the Municipal Stadium of the Mediterranean Games on Friday in Segunda Division action with kickoff at 11 pm.
The Rojiblancos, who are winless in six matches in all competitions, including five in the league, have dropped from first place to third in the standings.
They lost each of their last three games, so they’ll be desperate to return to winning ways.
Meanwhile, Ibiza remains unbeaten in their last four games, including three victories to 10th in the table. Ibiza trails La Cartuja by 11 points but can cut the relegation gap to eight with a win in this match.
Ibiza’s form has contrasted with Andalusia lately, with the former looking like a mid-table team and the latter like a promotion contender.
Ibiza is riding a wave of confidence after going their last four league games unbeaten and will be out for revenge against Rubi’s side, who defeated them earlier in the season.
In the November reverse fixture, La Union took the lead in Ibiza with a penalty by Dyego Sousa in a stunning first-half fashion.
