Prediction published on 17/08/2023, 22:51  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Real Madrid will target a second straight win in La Liga when they travel to Almeria in Match Day 2 action. After the opening weekend, Real Madrid are third while Almeria are 18th, without a point. In their second straight home match, Almeria will want to do better than they did on the opening day. They lost 2-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano. The result didn’t come on the back of a very strong preseason run. Across all, they have one win in five matches. They also didn’t have a strong ending to the season last campaign. In Almeria’s last four league matches, they have two losses and no win. They have conceded more than a goal in each of their last two league matches. Playing at home, in the league, they’ve also failed to score in the last two matches. In the last seven meetings with Real Madrid, Almeria have suffered straight losses.

Real Madrid will be targeting top spot with a win in this game. Heading into this game, Real Madrid opened their campaign with a 2-0 away win over Athletic Bilbao. Goals from Rodrygo and new signing Jude Bellingham guided Real to the win. Facing a side they have dominated will give Real Madrid the confidence they need. The opening win also stretched their unbeaten run in league matches to four. They have now posted three wins in the four matches but with just one clean sheet in five league games. In three of Real Madrid’s last four league matches, they have scored two or more goals. While Real Madrid don’t have a very healthy run away from home, they have posted straight wins in the last two matches
