Almeria vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Almeria are on a run of three defeats in five
• Atletico Madrid have won four of their last five games
• Almeria haven’t beaten a single team currently in the top eight in the table

Will Almeria spring a surprise?

Almeria have not had a good time of things since the return from the break for the World Cup, drawing 1-1 with struggling Cadiz before losing at home to Real Sociedad last weekend.

That was already a third home La Liga defeat of the season for Rubi’s side, who have now lost three of their last five fixtures in all competitions.

On top of that, despite winning five times this campaign, four of those victories have come against sides in the bottom half of the table, while they have lost each of their six games against teams in the top eight.

Atletico looking to bounce back

Atletico on the other hand had been doing pretty well since Qatar 2022, winning three out of three until coming unstuck against the Barcelona juggernaut last weekend.

Diego Simeone’s side have now won half of their last ten outings in La Liga, while their away form is among the best in the division, notching up five victories and a draw from eight outings.

They need to find some consistency in the league, but have a good record against Almeria, to whom they have lost just twice in 12 league fixtures.

I predict that Atletico Madrid will win this game, with 2-0 my correct score prediction.
