Almeria, Recent FormAlmería will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 1-0 home win against Barcelona in their last league encounter. During that encounter they had 28% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 13 shots on goal.
Having lost 14 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 10 goals they scored. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Power Horse Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. Having shipped at least a single goal in 21 of their 23 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 home win against Getafe in their previous league match. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Getafe, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were 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 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Gerard Moreno will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Villarreal.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Almería who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Villarreal.
Playing away from home, Villarreal have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Almería.
In the league, Villarreal have been unbeaten in the last 4 times they have visited Almería at Power Horse Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Almería manager Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Francis Coquelin (Cruciate ligament) and Nicolas Jackson (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Quique Setién will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
