Atletico Madrid, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Barcelona will not have sat easily with the Atletico Madrid squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Barcelona, who had 13 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Diego Simeone will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Cívitas Metropolitano.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 16 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at Cívitas Metropolitano in 18 league games.
Antoine Griezmann will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Atletico Madrid.
Almeria, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Real Betis will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Almeria. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Real Betis who had 6 attempts and 2 on target.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 13 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 27 most recent trips.
Almeria will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 6 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 11 games.
On an individual basis, Luis Suárez will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Almeria's last 6 league games.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Atletico Madrid came out on top, winning the match 2-1.
The Rojiblancos defence has struggled at Cívitas Metropolitano, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits. In their last 3 away league games against Los Colchoneros, Almeria have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
In the league, Atletico has a good track record when they host Almeria, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Pablo Barrios (Meniscus), Thomas Lemar (Achilles tendon) and Víctor Vitolo (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Gaizka Garitano has a number of injury concerns in his Almeria squad to contend with: Ibrahima Koné (Ankle), Marko Milovanović (Knee), Marc Pubill (Knee), Luis Suárez (Metatarsal fracture) and Martin Šviderský (Cruciate ligament)
