Valencia, Recent FormThe Valencia players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Atletico Madrid recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Atletico Madrid managed 12 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
Manager Rubén Baraja 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. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 10 games.
They have been performing well at The Estadio de Mestalla recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Almeria, Recent FormAlmeria boss Gaizka Garitano will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 home mauling from Alaves. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Alaves' tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 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 4 of their last 6 games, and they've conceded at least one goal in their 31 most recent away games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Rojiblancos, having gone without an away league win in their last 15 games and losing the last 10 games in a row on the road.
Leo Baptistão has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Valencia.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Valencia will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 13 encounters with Rojiblancos. We've seen plenty of goals from Almeria when they've visited Los Che in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
In the last 3 league matches against Almeria, Valencia have failed to record a victory.
With only André Almeida (Back) and Sergi Canós (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rubén Baraja will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Gaizka Garitano has a number of injury concerns in his Almeria squad to contend with: Ibrahima Koné (Ankle), Arnau Puigmal (Hamstring) and Luis Suárez (Thigh)
