Real Madrid v Almeria

Real Madrid vs Almeria Preview

Real Madrid racked up a third league win on the trot in La Liga last time out with a 1-0 home win against Mallorca which followed on from previous victories over Villarreal 4-1 and a 1-0 win away from home at lowly Alaves to keep the hosts in the hunt for a possible league title but trailing Girona by a single point, while Almeria held the current league leaders Girona to a 0-0 stalemate last time out on home soil.

Real Madrid have only been on the losing side just once so far this season which is why their straight win odds are so low and understandably the hosts are priced as overwhelming favourites to take the three points against Almeria as well, and Carlo Ancelotti's side bring a formidable looking 13-game unbeaten run into Sunday afternoon's clash as well.

Within this period, Real Madrid have chalked up no fewer than 10 wins in the process, making them formidable opponents for the visitors Almeria this Sunday, especially as the hosts have won eight out of their nine home games so far in this season's La Liga campaign along with keeping five clean sheets into the bargain too.

Having won 10 of their last 12 home games, Real Madrid look set to add to their points tally here.

Almeria by contrast sit rock-bottom of the La Liga table with just six points to their name after picking up six draws within their total of 20 games played so far this season but having also suffered 14 defeats as well to date, the visitors look to have a mountain to climb if they're to even get a point against an in-form and confident Real Madrid outfit this Sunday.

The visitors already find themselves 10 points adrift of safety ahead of this extremely tough trip to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu while the bigger picture shows Almeria have now failed to win any of their previous 23 league matches in the Spanish top flight which also does not bode well for this upcoming clash.

In addition, Almeria have slumped to 12 defeats out of their last 14 outings on the road along with losing each of their last nine away games on the trot so Gaizka Garitano's side really have their work cut out against a star-studded Real Madrid outfit.

Real Madrid v Almeria Verdict

Real Madrid know they must not only make home advantage count here this Sunday but also grab all three points against a weak and lacklustre Almeria outfit here this Sunday if they're to overcome the challenge from Girona for a possible league title.

The hosts should run out comfortable winners here and also keep a clean sheet into the bargain as well in what could be a 3-0 victory.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.90
