Almeria vs Deportivo La Coruna

20/1- At the beginning of the season was not expected that a side like Deportivo La Coruna would slip as far as 19^th place on the table and a side like Almeria would find themselves in the top half of the table. Deportivo has been going through a very lean phase in the league and out of the last 5 matches they have lost 3 matches, though the last match they played against Villareal the side put up a valiant attempt but ended on the losing side with a 4-3 margin. Almeria on the other hand are a side that has been constantly improving, after their last week’s victory against Espanyol at home they would be high on confidence. Almeria have looked quite confident while playing at home and they would like to translate their good form into good points. They have managed to win 2 of their last 5 matches and have been impressive in other matches as well.

Almeria would not only enjoy the upper hand in terms of their dominant position but also the home crowd would be quite encouraging. Sanchez has been the best scoring option for the club and has managed 6 goals in the season so far. But overall the team would prefer more goals being scored at home as they have been able to score only 7 goals at home this season. They are just a point behind the 9^th placed team and would like to move up some places as they are just 3 points above the relegation zone.

Deportivo La Coruna would possibly argue that they have a better away record than a home record, the only team they have performed better than is Levante and that would not be of any satisfaction for such a talented side. They would be hoping to get at least some points out of this match.

Prediction: 2-2, draw
