Espanyol are already relegated but will hope to finish their La Liga season with a home win over 16th placed Almeria. The home side are unbeaten in their last three matches but it's all been too late for them and they are four points from safety with just this final game to come. Drawing their last two league fixtures has condemned them to La Liga2 next season.  In their most recent game, they conceded a stoppage time goal to draw 2-2 with Valencia.  A notable stat for Espanyol is their scoring run. They've scored in all except one of the last 10 matches. In each of their last five matches, Espanyol have scored at least two goals per game. However, they've managed just two clean sheets in the last 10 matches.

For Almeria this match means a lot more. To be sure of survival, they have to win this game. They are just a point above the relegation zone. In their last game, Almeria drew 0-0 with Real Valladolid. Two wins in their last five matches have done well to get them off the red zone and they need one final push here. An improvement in attack will be key here though, after failing to score in the last two games. Before the draw with Real Valladolid, they had lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad. One away win in 19 matches in all competitions isn't the best form to take to this game. Almeria have three straight losses away from home ahead of this game and they've also lost seven of the last 10. The positive they take to this game is that they've only failed to score in two of 10 away matches.
