Almería vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 11/03/2024, 07:01  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Sevilla will look to extend their recent good form and move further away from the relegation zone as they travel to basement club Almeria. This La Liga matchday 28 will be played at the Power Horse Stadium in Almeria on Monday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are at the bottom of the standings with nine points from 27 matches, while the visitors are 14th with 27 points. Almeria are still 15 points adrift of safety and are looking set for a drop back to the second division. They avoided relegation last season by just a single point, but that luxury seems to be out of their reach this campaign. They are winless in the season so far, and no team in the history of the competition has played 27 games without a win to start a campaign and avoided relegation. Although Almeria picked up three points from their last four league games, even a point here would be huge.

Sevilla are five points above the bottom-three and have won 11 points from their last six rounds to get some buffer with the danger zone. One of those wins was a 3-2 success against Real Sociedad last time out, and coupled with a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid, the visitors have shown that they can be quite a handful for any team. Almeria haven’t really tested Sevilla in recent years, as the Andalusians have won seven of their last eight league head-to-head games. That included a 5-1 thrashing in the reverse fixture, and the visitors will hope that can invoke happy memories for this trip. Sevilla would need this to improve their poor recent away form, as they lost five of their last eight league games on the road.
