Almeria, Recent FormAlmeria will have been reasonably pleased with their 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad, not least because of the valuable point gained. During that encounter they had 50% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 17 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 26 of their 31 games overall.
It's been a terrible run of home form for Almeria, not winning any of their last 16 games at Power Horse Stadium.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Almeria, Luis Suárez will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Villarreal, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Villarreal. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Athletic Bilbao who had 13 attempts and 6 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Marcelino García Toral will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 13 of their 15 games played.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Alexander Sørloth will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 6 goals in the last 6 league outings for Villarreal.
The 2-1 victory which Villarreal recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
El Submarino Amarillo have managed to keep a clean sheet against Almeria in each of their previous 2 visits to Power Horse Stadium. The last 3 matches between Almeria and El Submarino Amarillo show that Almeria have let in at least one goal on each occasion. Rojiblancos have struggled to break down the Villarreal defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Villarreal has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Almeria in 11 games.
Gerard Moreno has scored in each of Villarreal's last 0 league games against Almeria.
Almeria manager Pepe Mel has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sergio Arribas (Muscle), Ibrahima Koné (Ankle), Aleksandar Radovanović (Thigh) and Luis Suárez (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral with Eric Bailly (Physical discomfort), Francis Coquelin (Physical discomfort), Juan Foyth (Thigh), Pepe Reina (Foot), Denis Suárez (Hamstring) and Ramón Terrats (Meniscus) all unavailable for selection, and Yeremy Pino (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
