Almeria, Recent FormAlmeria won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 away defeat to Valencia, given that their opponents sit a full 13 places above them in the league table. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Valencia managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 12 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have failed to score in their last 4 home games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 23 games overall.
The misery continues for Almeria, having not won any of their last 26 games.
Luis Suárez will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Almeria.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormIn their last match Athletic Bilbao enforced their superiority over Mallorca with a 4-0 home win. In that game they recorded 62 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 6 shots on goal.
Manager Ernesto Valverde will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
The Athletic Bilbao travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Iñaki Williams, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The last time these two teams met Athletic Bilbao enforced their superiority over Almeria with a comfortable 3-0 win.
The Almeria defence has struggled against Lehoiak in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. Rojiblancos have struggled to break down the Athletic defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Playing at home, Almeria have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Athletic.
Athletic will be looking to continue their winning streak against Almeria having won in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With only Ibrahima Koné (Ankle) and Luis Suárez (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gaizka Garitano will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Álex Berenguer (Hamstring) and Iñigo Lekue (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ernesto Valverde will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
