Almeria v Sevilla

Almeria vs Sevilla Preview

Almeria's miserable winless run in the Spanish top flight continued last week when the hosts were handed a 1-0 defeat away from home at Celta Vigo which means Gaizka Garitano's side still remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the La Liga table and now some 15 points adrift of safety ahead of Monday night's encounter against Sevilla, while the visitors recorded a morale boosting 3-2 home win against seventh placed Real Sociedad last Saturday.

This season has been a horrific campaign for Almeria whose nine points in total earned to date this term have all been collected by way of draws whilst also slipping to no fewer than 18 defeats within their total of 27 games played so far this season and surely there's now no way back for Almeria in terms of La Liga survival.

Results at home have seen Almeria pick up the majority of their nine-point haul so far this season as the hosts have been involved in no fewer than seven stalemates on home soil at their Power Horse Stadium but rather worrying is the fact that Almeria have failed to score in five of their last six home games.

Sevilla on the other hand will be heading into this upcoming clash at the Power Horse Stadium on Monday night in confident mood as they registered an impressive 3-2 home win against high-flying Real Sociedad which also became Sevilla's third win in five games overall.

The visitors had previously captured important wins against the likes of Rayo Vallecano and most impressive of all, a 1-0 home win against Atletico Madrid and Quique Sanchez Flores' side will be hoping they can bring this sort of form into this upcoming encounter against their lowly opponents.

Sevilla haven't exactly been blessed with league wins though this term as the visitors have managed to collect just six wins in total throughout this campaign but considering their hosts have failed to win a single game so far this season, even a fairly ordinary performing side such as Sevilla should be able to get the better of a poor outfit like Almeria.

For the record, the bigger picture shows Sevilla have registered just two wins from their last 15 outings on their travels which were captured at Granada and Rayo Vallecano respectively.

Almeria v Sevilla Verdict

Previous history between Almeria and Sevilla has been firmly on the side of Sevilla as the visitors have won eight out of their last nine meetings against Almeria and Quique Sanchez Flores' side will be looking to extend their dominance over their hosts once again here at the Power Horse Stadium on Monday night.

Given the poor results overall though from both teams leading into this clash, this could be a low-scoring affair.

Therefore, our main bet will be Sevilla win @ 2.37

Other side bets worth considering:

Sevilla win & Under 2.5 goals @ 5.50

Correct Score: Sevilla 1-0 @ 8.50
