Real Madrid will be looking for three points to regain first place in the Spanish top flight when they host Almeria on Sunday afternoon.
Since their victory over Mallorca in a league football match on January 3, the hosts have not participated in any league football matches, but they have been quite active. In the Supercopa de Espana, Carlo Ancelotti’s team defeated Atlético Madrid in the semi-finals and later triumphed over Barcelona with a 4:1 score, securing the trophy four days later. Los Blancos were also involved in the Copa del Rey, where they beat Randina 4:1 in the last-32 round but were knocked out by Atlético Madrid in the last 16.
Meanwhile, Almeria have only participated in two matches since the start of the year, both of which were in La Liga. Gaizka Garitano’s team was unable to secure a win in these two games, thus prolonging their streak without a victory in Spain’s top league to 23 matches. However, there is some consolation for the visitors, as they have managed to score in each of their previous three meetings with Los Blancos.
Real Madrid vs Almeria Betting Tips: Over 3.5 goals
On a favorable day, Real Madrid has the ability to score more than three goals. In each of their previous four games, Los Blancos have managed to score a minimum of two goals, with all five matches having at least four goals.
Ancelotti’s team, Real Madrid, also boasts a strong history against Almeria, not just in terms of victories but also in goal scoring. In seven out of their last eight matches against Rojiblancos La, they managed to score a minimum of three goals. Only in two of these matches were less than four goals scored.
- Best Tip: Over 3.5 goals

Real Madrid team news
Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti, will once again be without Thibaut Courtois due to a cruciate ligament injury, and he is not the only injury worry for the hosts.
The goalkeeper is joined in the treatment room by Ãder Militão and David Alaba, both dealing with cruciate ligament injuries, as well as Lucas Vázquez who has a hamstring injury.
Last time against Atletico Madrid, Toni Kroos and Aurélien Tchouaméni only played as substitutes. However, they could gain advantages from the modifications Ancelotti is anticipated to implement.
