The team is on their way back to La Liga 2. On Monday night, Almeria will host Sevilla in La Liga, with the chance to ruin the guest’s chances of survival.
Sevilla’s form has improved in recent weeks. They are unbeaten in five of their last six games, and are coming off a 3-2 home win over Real Sociedad.
Los Rojiblancos have benefitted from the teams below them in the standings being of very poor quality.
Sevilla only have 27 points from 27 games, yet it would be enough for survival currently.
The trend between these teams is home wins. The last three matches saw the home team come away with a victory.
Almeria won 2-1 the last time they played Sevilla at the Power Horse Stadium.
Sevilla did win the teams’ reverse La Liga fixture. The game ended 5-1 in Sevilla’s favour. Youssef En-Nesyri, Dodi Lukebakio, Suso, and Erik Lamela all scored before the 51st minute.
Almeria scored a penalty in the 71st minute thanks to Luis Suarez. Sevilla extended their lead back to four goals in the 91st minute after a goal from Kike Salas.
Almeria may have won the last time they faced Sevilla at the Power Horse Stadium. However, this season, the team is struggling for points at home.
Indeed, Almeria are winless at home this season in 13 matches. They have a record of 0W-7D-6L at home and a goal difference of -11. Almeria have conceded the league’s most goals, with 55.
Sevilla have won just two times on the road this term. They have a record of 2W-4D-7L and a goal difference of -6 away from home.
Los Rojiblancos have struggled to keep goals out, allowing 40 this term. Meanwhile, they scored 33 goals in 27 fixtures.
Sevilla may not play well on the road, but Almeria are terrible at home this term. Our algorithm predicts a low-scoring game, with Sevilla claiming a 1-0 victory away to Almeria.
Although Los Rojiblancos won big in the reverse fixture, Monday’s match should be closer. The win should seal Sevilla’s status in La Liga for next season.
