Real Madrid, Recent FormLast time out, Real Madrid went away feeling content with a 1-0 home win against Mallorca Their share of possession in that meeting was 67%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Mallorca, who had 7 shots on goal with 0 on target.
Carlo Ancelotti will be more than satisfied with his side's form of late, having recorded 12 goals in their last 6 encounters and only conceded 2 goals in that time. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches, and they've scored in 18 of their 19 games this season.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Jude Bellingham will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 13 goals in Real Madrid's 19 league games this season.
Almeria, Recent FormAlmeria will have been reasonably pleased with their 0-0 draw against Girona, not least because of the valuable point gained. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Girona who had 5 attempts and 1 on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Gaizka Garitano where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 6 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they've conceded at least one goal in their 30 most recent away games.
Almeria will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 9 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 14 games.
Luis Suárez will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Almeria.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Real Madrid running out winners in a match that ended 1-3.
Real Madrid will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 13 encounters with Rojiblancos. We have seen plenty of goals from Los Blancos when they play at home against Almeria. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 11 goals, which is an average of 3.67 goals per game.
Undefeated in their last 13 league encounters against Almeria, Real Madrid have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 8 times in a row.
With both David Alaba (Cruciate ligament) and Thibaut Courtois (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Éder Militão (Cruciate ligament) and Lucas Vázquez (Hamstring) unavailable in the shorter term, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
There is only really one injury concern for the Almeria manager Gaizka Garitano ahead of this clash, with Ibrahima Koné (Ankle) missing out, which gives Garitano a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
