Almeria vs Murcia

17/2- Almeria have all of a sudden the team in the spot light after they beat Real Madrid a couple of weeks ago and something that is noteworthy about the team in the 8^th spot on the points table is their impeccable defence. They have had 7 clean sheets this season and did not allow Real Madrid to score at a time when the champions were on a high is a huge compliment to the team’s ability. This Sunday they prepare to take on a comparatively weaker opponent in Murcia, playing at home. Murcia have been highly disappointing this season and their low position is due to their inability to score at crucial moments. The visitors have lost 5 of their last 10 matches while have managed to win just twice. Almeria on the other hand have looked to be a highly determined side in the last 10 matches as they have been victorious on 6 occasions while lost just twice. The last time both teams met was earlier this season when Almeria travelled to take on Murcia and gained a crucial away victory with a 1-0 score line.

Almeria would enjoy the home crowd and would be expected to carry all the three points off this tie. A win here would trigger them to a 6^th or 7^th position on the points table which will be great for a side that is relatively young to the top division of Spain. Sanchez and Milo would be the two players the fans would look towards to get them the goals as they have been throughout the season.

Murcia on the other hand would be trying to get some momentum going for them this season and even a point out of this match would be a huge bonus for this otherwise struggling team. They have had no prolific striker but Baiano with 5 goals this season would be their best bet.

Prediction: 2-0, Almeria win
