Almeria vs Sevilla Match preview

Spain - Primera Division: Almeria vs Sevilla

Regional derby will take place at Estadio del Mediterraneo where home side will host Sevilla. Almeria are sixth on eleven points while Sevilla are on high third place with 14 points taken so far. All of this points to an exciting game in which the crowd will enjoy. Almeria owe Sevilla for the disastrous defeat they suffered in the midst of Seville last season.

A win would take them to the top

Current place on Primera standings is still not the reflection of the real quality of these teams. Almeria had several good games but also several bad ones where they were fortunate enough to avoid deserved defeats. Some clubs had a more difficult schedule and some had easier. Almeria used the fact that they only faced Valencia out of strong teams, while the other rivals were average clubs like Malaga, Recreativo, Valladolid, Getafe. Now they are hosting excellent Sevilla that have a new quality this season, that is very good defense. Andalusian side have gone last three matches without conceding and they scored five goals. Almeria, and especially teams’ best striker, Alvaro Negredo must have that in mind. Last season Almeria humiliated Sevilla away marking a convincing 1:4 win, so home side players will try to stop Andalusian revenge. New victory and three points would launch Almeria to the top.

Sevilla are looking to a rematch after last season's defeat

The loss to Almeria on home ground last season saw Sevilla lose all chances for Champions league qualification. That convincing loss was painful for everyone in the club so they will seek revenge at any cost. Sevilla’s quality is indisputable, defense is excellent and the attack is made of aces. Winning won't be easy here as Almeria possess the same tough quality and know how to adjust their play to any rival. The players are merciless when efficiency is needed, and they also manage well in low-scoring games. A very competitive team that will give a hard time to Sevilla. The best example is Valencia that barely managed to fight a draw at Estadio del Mediterraneo after Almeria took the lead twice in the game. Coach Jimenez will be able to count on most of the players.

Betting Verdict

This is an uncertain game where both teams have realistic chance to win. Almeria are in a slightly better situation as their players don't have international duty so they had more time to rest and prepare for the game. Almeria are slightly favoured here.
