Barcelona vs Almería Prediction: La Liga Match on 20.12.2023

Midweek action the Spanish top-flight is staged this week, as Barcelona will be looking for a positive performance to ease the pressure on Xavi. The defending champions have dropped to third ahead of this showdown with Almeria after failing to win in their last two.

 

La Liga Preview

Barcelona will be looking to reignite their hopes of defending the La Liga title this term, as they have slipped to nine points off the pace after failing to win in their last two matches in the competition. The pressure has increased on Xavi following a poor run of results, but a return to winning ways could ease his position. 

Barcelona dropped more points in their previous match in La Liga, as they slipped to a draw on the road against Valencia. Joao Felix had opened the scoring in that fixture, but the hosts hit back with just 20 minutes remaining on the clock. Barcelona have recorded ten wins in their opening 17 matches this term, meaning that they have won ten or fewer for the ninth time in the 21st century. It could be damning that they have never gone on to win the title when failing to win more.

However, there will also be pressure on Almeria this week, as the Spanish side are still waiting for their first victory of the season. They come into this match sitting rock bottom in the league standings after going 17 matches without a victory. In fact, they have picked up just five points from their opening matches this term, with two draws coming in their last three. 

Their overall record in La Liga has been really poor across the previous two seasons, as they haven’t won in their last 20 matches in the competition. But, they have collected points from two of their last three, which is an improvement after losing six on the bounce before the start of that period. 

Barcelona vs Almeria Head to Head

Barcelona suffered a 1-0 loss in their last match against Almeria in February. However, that was a first defeat against their Spanish rivals after going 13 without loss against Almeria in the Spanish top flight. 

Barcelona vs Almeria Prediction

This is a golden opportunity for Barcelona to get back on track in La Liga this week. We fully expect them to take advantage of Almeria’s poor form on Wednesday, and claim maximum points in front of their home fans in the Olympic Stadium.
