Betting on Union Deportiva Almeria
Almeria‘s season hasn’t been what its fans expected at the beginning of it. The team has been constantly fighting against relegation, with only eight wins, six draws, and 15 losses.
In this context, the squad has shown weakness in defense by conceding 50 goals, making it one of the most scored-on teams in Spanish soccer. The offense hasn’t been able to counteract this situation, only scoring 35 goals.
The team has only won one of its last five matches and comes into this game after losing to Atlético Madrid in the previous matchday. However, it previously beat Valencia, one of its direct rivals in the lower part of the standings. Overall, Almeria’s performance has been disappointing, but it still has a chance to turn things around and avoid relegation.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Fernando Martínez; Houboulang Mendes, Rodrigo Ely, Srdjan Babic, Álex Centelles; César de la Hoz, Samú Costa; Léo Baptistão, Lucas Robertone, Largie Ramazani; Luis Suárez.
Betting on Athletic Bilbao
Unlike its rivals, Athletic Bilbao’s present is much more promising. It is currently in seventh place with 12 wins, seven draws, and 10 losses, and still has a chance to qualify for international tournaments next season.
In this context, the Basque team is on a four-game unbeaten streak, with three wins and a draw, including a victory in its last match against Real Sociedad in the derby.
Under the guidance of Ernesto Valverde, Athletic has achieved both offensive and defensive solidity, scoring 40 goals and conceding 29. This has allowed this team to earn points in tough matches. However, it will now have to play away from home, a scenario that has proven difficult for the team, with five wins, four draws, and five losses.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Unai Simón; Óscar De Marcos, Dani Vivian, Yeray Álvarez, Yuri Berchiche; Mikel Vesga, Dani García; Oihan Sancet, Alex Berenguer, Iñaki Williams; Gorka Gruzueta.
JefeBet Prediction
For this match, Athletic Bilbao comes in a better position in the standings and with a better current form, having an unbeaten streak of four matches. Meanwhile, Almeria has not been able to string together two consecutive wins in the short term.
Although not one of the best teams playing away from home, the quality of the players and the current form of the squad lead JefeBet to believe that this will end with an away win.
Prediction: Athletic Bilbao Moneyline (ALM 0-2 BIL)
