Valencia Team News
Considering the reputation of the home team, fighting for at least the Europa League should have been a realistic reach for Valencia this season. However, the reality is much different. Valencia currently occupies 13th place in the table and is much closer to the fight for survival than the top of the table.
After returning from the “vacation,” the home team recorded 2 defeats and thus practically lost any real chance to do something more serious this season. The 1:0 defeat against Cadiz, in front of 40,000 fans, was particularly painful. That defeat also spoiled Valencia’s score at home, where the home team scored almost 2 goals on average before that game.
Valencia is only 2 points above the first team in the relegation zone, so a possible failure against Almeria could “declare” them another candidate in the fight for survival in La Liga.
Almeria Team News
Even the guests are not in a slightly better position than the hosts. Almeria recorded 5 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses in 17 games, which was enough for 18 points and position number 15 in the La Liga table. We do not doubt that the situation would have been much better if Umar Sadiq had stayed in the team, but that’s football.
Almeria stands out this season by one parameter. And those are away matches. Almeria recorded 2 draws and 6 defeats in 8 games away from their stadium. At the same time, in those matches, they scored only 4 and conceded as many as 15 goals.
In the last round, they pleasantly surprised since they managed to play 1:1 against Atletico Madrid at home. That is why Valencia must not underestimate them, even though the quality is on the home team’s side.

Valencia vs Almeria Prediction
Bearing in mind that both teams are in an almost identical position, it is to be expected that this will be a dynamic match because both of them need points to move away from the danger zone.
Valencia is playing well at home this season, although they have 3 defeats in their last 4 matches at the Mestalla Stadium. On the other hand, Almeria plays very poorly away from home, and so far, they do not have a single triumph in matches away from their stadium.
That is why it is most realistic to expect that here Valencia is much closer to triumph.
Also, bearing in mind the tradition of mutual duels and Valencia’s goal-scoring form at home, we could see a few goals here. The fact that Almeria concedes almost 2 goals on average gives additional value to our thinking.
Additional predictions:
Valencia to win the match – 1,66 at 22bet.
Edison Cavani to score in the match – 2,30 at 22bet.
Valencia wins and at least 2 goals in the match – 1,95 at Ivibet.
