Sevilla v Almeria

Sevilla vs Almeria Preview

Tuesday night brings us action from the Spanish top flight in La Liga with this upcoming lower half battle between 16th placed Sevilla and bottom of the division visitors, Almeria, when the two sides meet at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

Sevilla were subjected to a disastrous start to their new La Liga campaign as they were dealt three defeats on the trot after slipping to losses against Valencia, Alaves and Girona respectively, but the hosts have since managed to pick up four points from their subsequent two league matches.

A 1-0 home win against Las Palmas was followed by a solid point in a 0-0 draw away from home at Osasuna which has steadied the ship somewhat for the home side ahead of these midweek fixtures in the Spanish top flight.

Results on home soil have also fallen on hard times of late as Sevilla have managed just one win from their previous five games at their Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán but the hosts do hold a pretty good record at home in recent times against Almeria, winning their last three meetings on the trot.

Almeria find themselves sitting at the bottom of the La Liga table and with just two points under their belts so far in what has been a disappointing start to their Spanish top flight campaign.

The visitors have picked up points in draws with Cadiz and Valencia in 1-1 and 2-2 draws respectively but both of these modest results were achieved on home soil at their Power Horse Stadium, but they've also been handed no fewer than four defeats within their opening six games of the La Liga season.

Almeria finished last season's campaign in disappointing fashion as well which saw the visitors fail to win any of their final three games, thus making it now nine league matches without a win for Almeria in La Liga which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to face Sevilla on Tuesday night.

However, switch to results away from home and you'll find that Almeria have managed to capture just the one away win from their previous 28 outings on the road which is a staggeringly poor away record for a team in one of the major European top flight leagues.

To make matters worse, Almeria have lost 21 games on their travels as well during this period which suggests this upcoming fixture on Tuesday night could well end in further disappointment for the visitors.

Sevilla v Almeria Verdict

Both Sevilla and Almeria have had their problems in the early stages of this new La Liga season but Sevilla look to hold the edge over their visitors having gained success in previous exchanges against their opponents and having also tasted success this term as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Sevilla win @ 1.55

Other side bets worth considering:

Sevilla win & Under 2.5 goals @ 4.33
