Almeria vs Valencia Predictions

• Only two of Almeria’s last eight home games have contained more than two goals
• Valencia have failed to score in six of their last ten outings
• Eight of Valencia’s last ten matches have featured fewer than three strikes

Will Almeria continue their strong home form?

The stakes could barely be higher this weekend, as Almeria welcome Valencia to the Power Horse Stadium, with both teams locked on 27 points in the relegation battle.

Rubi’s side will be hoping that they can pick up another vital three points on home soil, where they have won six of their last 11 league fixtures.

Goals have been pretty thin on the ground at either end of the field though, with only two of their last eight outings at the Power Horse containing more than two goals.

Indeed, 14 fixtures there have yielded 39 strikes, with Almeria netting exactly once in half of the last eight.

Valencia must improve

You have to go back to 1986/87 for the last time Valencia were outside the Spanish top flight, but defeat in this fixture could go along way to deciding their fate.

Interim manager Voro has seen his side improve a little of late, winning two of their last five games, but they are actually without a victory in six on the road, failing to score in each of those outings.

Only one of those matches, a 3-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid, has contained more than three goals, while there have been two strikes or fewer in eight of their last ten outings at all venues.

I predict there will be fewer than three goals in this game too, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction.
