Almeria vs Barcelona Predictions

• Barcelona have won eight of their last 11 games.
• Barca won the reverse fixture 3-2.
• Almeria have scored six goals across their last five home games.

Barcelona head to relegated Almeria

Barcelona make the trip to Almeria on Thursday in a game that is effectively a dead-rubber.

Barca are in a fight for second place but the title is long gone and they have secured a Champions League spot, while Almeria’s relegation has been confirmed and the best they can hope for is finishing above Granada.

Hosts showing some spirit

Almeria may have little left to play for but they have been showing a bit of fight in recent games. The hosts won at Rayo Vallecano recently and scored twice in defeat at Real Betis last time out.

Barcelona have eight wins in their last 11 games and should be able to come out on top here, but Almeria can at least grab a consolation effort.

The Rojiblancos lost 3-2 in the reverse fixture at Camp Nou and have only failed to score in one of their last five home games, hitting six goals in total in that run, and they are facing a Barca side who have conceded seven goals across their last two away games.

A 3-1 win for Barcelona is the correct score prediction as they have hit 10 goals across their last four games, while Almeria have conceded exactly three goals in three of their last four defeats.

Barca youngster Lamine Yamal scored against Real Sociedad last time out and managed an assist in the defeat to Girona prior to that. Yamal is coming into the game after two strong performances and he can get on the scoresheet on Thursday.
