Almeria vs Real Madrid

2/2-Almeria have performed well this season and an 8^th spot on the points table is highly creditable but their performance is not that impressive as the league leaders Real Madrid. Almeria have been in great form as well as they have won their last three matches and they have been quite decent playing at home as well however their opponents this time have won their last 9 matches and have been equally good playing at home as well as away from home. The sides played against each other in the first half of the competition and Real Madrid playing at home routed Almeria 3-1. Almeria get into this match after a win against Valencia in an away tie, the win was not by an overwhelming margin but just 1-0 however it gave the side the full three points and continued their winning streak.

Almeria would be hoping that with the home crowd cheering for them they can give Real Madrid a run for their money. As Real Madrid enter the match after a hard fought win in the home match against Villareal they would be expecting similar competition in this away tie. Almeria have natural strikers in Sanchez and Milo and they have to be on full throttle against their Madrid opponents. Almeria would also be aware that a win here could help them keep away the teams below them and possibly help them compete for a higher spot so that they can possibly fight for the European competition.

Real Madrid on the other hand cannot ask for more from their players, they have given the team a 9 point cushion over second placed Barcelona. Also in form of Ruud Van Nistelroor, Raul, Robinho, Sneijder they have prolific players in the front end of the field and an equally competent of back strength but Almeria would not be just a walk over for them.

Prediction: 0-1, Real win
