Prediction published on 27/04/2024, 01:58  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Almeria could be relegated this week from La Liga as they look to spoil Getafe's European qualification chances. The Power Horse Stadium will be eagerly waiting for this contest to be played on Saturday, with the hosts at the bottom of the table with 14 points and the visitors tenth with 40 points. Almeria were beaten by a late penalty in a 2-1 loss to Villarreal last time out, making it a second defeat in three matches. They start this match 17 points behind safety, and with only 18 points left to play for, this could be the round where they are mathematically relegated. It’s not as if Almeria have shown tremendous form to rise out of the red zone, but they have been gritting it out. That was evident in their six draws over their last nine home league games, although they are coming into this match on the back of consecutive losses at this venue.

Getafe are eight points behind seventh-placed Betis, which is the last spot for European qualification. The visitors have fallen behind in that race, unfortunately, because of their recent eight-game run, where they drew four and lost three matches. They eked out a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad last time out, but time’s running out if they want to make the late European dash. Getafe can take heart from the reverse fixture, where they won 2-1 after conceding an early seventh-minute goal. Such optimism doesn’t sit well with their away form, which has landed only one win this league campaign. Additionally, Getafe have drawn four and lost three of their last seven away league games, throwing a challenge ahead of this trip.
