Betting on UD Almeria
The home team is currently 14th in the standings, with 17 points and a goal difference of -8. Out of the last five games, they won two, drew one and lost two, the latest being a loss to Real Sociedad, which snapped a run of four consecutive wins at the Power Horse Stadium.
Largie Ramazani’s potential absence from this game is a major concern since he left the weekly training session feeling unwell. Examinations indicated he had a mild contracture.
Probable Almería lineup (4-3-3): Fernando Martínez; Sergio Akieme, Srđan Babic, Rodrigo Ely and Alejandro Pozo; Lucas Robertone, César De la Hoz, Gonzalo Melero; Adrián Embarba, El Bilal Touré and Leo Baptistao.
Betting on Atletico Madrid
With the Culés now leading by 14 points after Atletico Madrid’s most recent loss to Barcelona (1-0 at home), Diego Simeone’s club is basically out of title contention.
In that sense, and despite being well positioned to play in the Champions League next year,this is clearly Cholo’s worst season at the helm of the Colchonero.Since his arrival in 2011, the team had never had a run of five games lost at this point, in addition to being eliminated from any European play.
Stefan Savic, who was red-carded against Barcelona, will not be present for this Sunday’s Almeria vs Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, the team is still trying to adjust to the departure of Portuguese Joao Felix, who went on loan to Chelsea in England after playing 64% of the matches since his arrival in Madrid.
Probable Atlético Madrid lineup (4-3-3): Jan Oblak; Sergio Reguilón, Mario Hermoso, José María Giménez, Nahuel Molina; Axel Witsel, Rodrigo De Paul, Pablo Barrios; Antoine Griezmann, Marcos Llorente, Álvaro Morata.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to win Sunday’s game, as it has only won over Almeria on the road 17% of the time in La Liga. They need to win if they hope to remain in the Top 4 and earn a spot in the upcoming Champions League, and failing to do so will put their coach in a very precarious position.
However, at JefeBet we believe that Almeria vs Atletico Madrid will still be won by the Colchonero team.
Prediction: Atlético Madrid wins 3-1.
