Almeria, Recent FormAlmería will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Valencia, which ran out a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Valencia managed 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Power Horse Stadium. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 17 of their 18 league matches this season.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Real Betis. Their share of possession in that meeting was 30%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Real Betis had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Diego Martínez will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 18 league matches.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Away from home in the league, José Joselu has given the Espanyol travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Periquitos in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Almería in their last 5 meetings together.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Power Horse Stadium in the league, but Almería will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Almería manager Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Keidi Bare (Ligament) and Adrià Pedrosa (Hernia) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Diego Martínez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
