On Saturday night, Almeria hosts Sevilla at the Power Horse Stadium, as both teams look for their first win of the new La Liga campaign.
After winning promotion last season, the home side has made a difficult start to life back in La Liga. After seven years away from the top-flight, the home side has picked up just a point from their opening two matches in the Spanish top-flight.

Almeria opened their campaign with a 2-1 home defeat by reigning Spanish champions Real Madrid before a 1-1 draw against Elche last time out. The early season results mean that Almeria has failed to win seven matches dating back to their previous spell in La Liga.
The home team will be looking for an improvement in home results, too, as they have lost their last three matches on home soil in the Spanish top-flight while also failing to win in four league games on home soil.
Los Rojiblancos have made a surprisingly poor start to the new La Liga campaign, picking up just a point from their opening two matches.
Julen Lopetegui’s team kicked off their league campaign with a 2-1 defeat at Osasuna before a 1-1 draw against Real Valladolid last time out.
The two results mean that Sevilla has won just one of their previous seven league games, although five of the matches have finished all square.
The visitor's recent matches in La Liga have been tight, low-scoring affairs, as six of their last seven games in La Liga have produced under 2.5 goals.
Sevilla has won just one of their last ten away matches in La Liga. However, seven of those matches in the ten-game run have ended in draws.
Forebet predicts that this game will produce a low-scoring draw, leaving both teams frustrated and searching for their first league wins of the season.
