Valencia, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Valencia players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Cádiz. Their share of possession in that meeting was 74%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Cádiz, who had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Edinson Cavani will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Valencia's last 6 league games.
Almeria, Recent FormAlmería will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Atlético Madrid with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Atlético Madrid, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 16 of their 17 league matches.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Valencia produced a comfortable 2-3 victory.
The Rojiblancos defence has struggled against Valencia in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 games.
Almería have lost the last 2 times they've faced Valencia in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
With only Samu Castillejo (Wrist) and Nico González (Foot) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gennaro Gattuso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Almería manager Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
