Poor Union Deportiva Almería seems destined for struggles, facing continuous defeats despite putting up a fight. In various matches, they took numerous shots but failed to secure a victory. Their striker even managed a hat-trick in a short time, yet the team couldn’t turn things around. With three different goalkeepers and managers, all sharing a 0% win rate, Almería’s situation looks bleak. Even suggestions like defending dead balls or acquiring a forward don’t guarantee success. 

After 21 games, they haven’t won a single match, sitting at the bottom with only six points. Their last victory dates back to the previous season, and the current scenario makes it feel nearly impossible for them to improve. Almería’s performance is shaping up to be one of the worst in Spanish top-flight history, reminiscent of Sporting Gijon’s struggles in 1997-98.
