Almeria, Recent FormAlmeria won't feel too deflated by the 3-2 away defeat to Real Madrid, given that their opponents sit a full 19 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 27% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Real Madrid who had 18 attempts and 6 on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to score in their last 3 home games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 18 of their 21 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Rojiblancos, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
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.
Alaves, Recent FormAlaves will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Cadiz. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Cadiz had 9 shots on goal with 1 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 11 games on the road.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 11 away games.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Almeria who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Alaves.
Babazorros will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Almeria having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 9 meetings. Playing away from home, Alavés have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Almeria.
Alavés have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Almeria in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 8 meetings.
With only Ibrahima Koné (Ankle) and Arnau Puigmal (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gaizka Garitano will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Despite Aleksandar Sedlar (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season Alavés manager Luis García Plaza will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
