Real Sociedad v Almeria

Real Sociedad vs Almeria Preview

Real Sociedad and Almeria clash at the Reale Arena in Tuesday night's encounter in La Liga with both teams needing all three points to either further their ambitions of Champions League football next season, or just to remain in the Spanish top flight.

Real Sociedad sit in fourth place in the La Liga standings where the hosts hold a useful five-point buffer above fifth placed Villarreal heading into this midweek encounter and having put together a solid looking six-match unbeaten run in the domestic top flight, Real Sociedad will be confident that they can extend this record on Tuesday night.

Four wins and two draws have seen Real Sociedad register important victories over Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the latter two results being particularly impressive results, while the bigger picture shows Real Sociedad have lost just two of their previous 12 games in La Liga.

Real Sociedad are also unbeaten in their last seven home games, five of which resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Almeria occupy 14th place on the La Liga ladder but although the visitors hold a four-point cushion above the relegation zone, they are still not yet out of the woods in terms of possible relegation, especially as they have to make the trip to Real Sociedad on Tuesday night.

Almeria have also produced a mixed bag of results lately in the Spanish top flight as they have captured just four wins out of their last 12 matches overall, three of which were achieved on home soil at their Power Horse Stadium while results away from home continue to be a cause for major concern for manager, Rubi.

The visitors have managed to claim just one win on the road throughout the whole of this La Liga campaign which came in the form of a 2-1 win at Getafe but 12 defeats within their 17 away games played to date this season suggests that Almeria are likely to struggle once again on their travels on Tuesday night.

Real Sociedad v Almeria Verdict

Real Sociedad head into this clash in solid form and with good results behind them on home soil, all three points for Real Sociedad look very much on the cards here on Tuesday night with the Under 2.5 goals market appealing most of all.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.20

Other side bets worth considering:
