Real Madrid’s season reached a new low on Tuesday evening, as they suffered a second defeat in four matches. They will desperately be looking for a return to winning ways this weekend when they host Almeria in the Spanish capital.
La Liga Preview
It hasn’t been the most straightforward season in La Liga for Real Madrid this term, and they could yet face a fight to hold onto second in the standings. The Spanish giants were beaten in the midweek round of games in Spain, meaning that they could drop to third at the end of the upcoming round if results go against them. Real’s focus may be switching toward the Champions League semi-finals, but they will want to go into their last four clash with Manchester City in good form.
Real was shockingly beaten in their previous match in La Liga, as they lost 4-2 on the road against Girona. Vinicius Jr and Lucas Vazquez scored the goals in the defeat, but Real didn’t deserve to pick up anything from the match against a spirited Girona. The Spanish champions recorded just three shots on target in their midweek defeat.
Bet hereAlmeria still find themselves battling for vital points at the opposite end of the Spanish standings. They come into this fixture sitting 17th overall, and they have lost each of their previous two matches. Over their last five, they have picked up just a single victory. That run of form means that they remain out of the bottom three courtesy of their head-to-head record against Valencia.
Last weekend, Almeria dropped to a second straight loss, as they were easily brushed aside by Athletic Bilbao. Their only goal in the defeat was scored in the 92nd minute, with Alex Centelles finally managing to break the Bilbao resistance.
