Match Overview
Almeria and Deportivo Alaves take each other on in the La Liga on Friday. The home team will feel that they have a slight advantage over their opponents, but it will not be very easy for them to win over Alaves. The latter have a strong defensive lineup, and this will work well for them in this game. It will be quite a challenging game for the home team.
Key Highlights
Ranked 14 in goals scored per match (1 goal), Almeria have not won a match in their last 11 attempts to do so. At the same time, Almeria have not scored in 3 home matches. This means that they have been far from their best in front of goal, and this is bound to affect them in this important game against Alaves. Their attackers have to be on top of their game.
Injury Report
Ibrahima Kone and Puigmal are among some of the players of Almeria who are not available for selection in this game. For Alaves, however, Aleksandar Sedlar has been ruled out with an injury.
Prediction
We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game since it is a very close one to call. One must not forget that Alaves are ranked 17th in goals scored per match (0.9 goals). They have also conceded the most number of penalties this season (7) What will worry them further is that they are ranked just 16 in shots on target per match (3.8 shots).
