- Venue: Power Horse Stadium (Almería)
Almeria managed to evade relegation in La Liga last season by a narrow margin of one point. However, their luck appears to be running out this season, as they are currently languishing at the bottom of the league table. Presently, they have just nine points, a whole 15 points adrift of the safety zone. With only 11 matches left to play, it would require a remarkable turnaround for Almeria to ensure their place in Spain’s premier football division for another season.
In the 21st century, Sevilla established themselves as one of Spain’s premier teams. Despite this, they’ve struggled to secure even a mid-table finish in La Liga for the second consecutive season. They managed a 13th place finish last season, salvaging it with a Europa League title. Their performance this season has been largely disappointing, often placing them near the relegation zone. Sevilla, however, has recently shown significant improvement, losing only once to Real Madrid (1:0) in their last six matches. Thanks to several strong performances, they’ve climbed to the 14th spot and are now eight points clear of the relegation zone.
Almeria vs Sevilla pick: Under 2.5 goals
Almeria holds the unfortunate title of being the only team in the league without a win. They’ve struggled significantly in their offensive strategy throughout the season, scoring just 0.93 goals per game, placing them among the league’s weakest teams in this area. However, they have shown a slight improvement in their defense in recent games. Due to their weak offense and somewhat stronger defense lately, Almeria have managed to keep the score under 2.5 goals in three of their last four matches.
Sevilla has recently been involved in predominantly low-scoring games, exceeding just twice in their last seven matches across all competitions. Their offensive performance has also been less than stellar, managing to score 33 goals in 27 matches. On away games, their goal average is only one per game. Therefore, even when facing the league’s weakest team, a high-scoring performance from Sevilla is not anticipated.
Taking into account all the aforementioned points, we believe that betting on less than 2.5 goals is the most secure wager for this La Liga match.

Almería team news
Bruno Langa, a starting left full-back, was given a straight red card in a match against Celta Vigo and will now serve his suspension. With his absence, it’s likely that Ãlex Centelles will get a chance to start the game.
The team is experiencing significant injury issues, especially in the forward positions. Two key offensive players, Luis Suarez and Ibrahima Kone, are expected to be out due to injuries. Luka Romero, an attacking winger, incurred a muscle injury in the last match and is anticipated to be out of action until the end of March. Furthermore, Leo Baptistao sprained his ankle in the same match and his participation in the Sevilla game remains uncertain.
