UD Almería

LDWLDL

UD Almería will be hoping to bounce back here after the 1-2 La Liga loss in their previous game against Villarreal.

In that match, UD Almería had 57% possession and 24 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for UD Almería was Anthony Lozano (30'). At the other end, Villarreal got 11 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Ilias Akhomach (25') and Alexander Sørloth (92') scored for Villarreal.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that UD Almería have shown defensive steel. The facts show that UD Almería have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 10 goals along the way.

Going into this encounter, UD Almería are without a home win in the past 17 matches in the league. What a horror run it has been.

Getafe

DLWLDD

Last time out, Getafe drew 1-1 in the La Liga match with Real Sociedad.

Over the course of 5 of the previous 6 games featuring Getafe, a notably low volume of goals have gone in between them and their opposition. The overall average number of goals per game during that period comes to a meagre 1.83, with the average goals for Azulones equalling 0.83. That kind of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this game, of course.

Ahead of this meeting, Getafe haven’t won away from home in the past 7 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

If we look at their past head to head duels stretching back to 01/02/2015, there has been little to separate the clubs with UD Almería winning 3 of those games, Getafe 3 and 0 being draws in regulation time.

A combined sum of 13 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 5 of them from Almería and 8 created by Azulones. That’s an average goals per game of 2.17.

The last league fixture between these clubs was La Liga match day 14 on 25/11/2023 when the final score was Getafe 2-1 UD Almería.

That time, Getafe managed 54% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 5 on target. The goals were scored by Mason Greenwood (33') and Borja Mayoral (45').

On the other side, UD Almería had 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Largie Ramazani (7') scored.

The match was refereed by Alejandro Hernández Hernández.

📋 Team News: UD Almería

The UD Almería boss Pepe Mel has a full complement, with no fitness concerns at all ahead of this match thanks to a completely healthy group to choose from.

In our view, UD Almería will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game featuring Luis Maximiano, Marc Pubill, Edgar Gonzalez, Cesar Montes, Bruno Langa, Dion Lopy, Lucas Robertone, Leo Baptistao, Jonathan Viera, Adrian Embarba and Anthony Lozano.

📋 Team News: Getafe

Getafe manager José Bordalás has not got a full squad to pick from. Mauro Arambarri (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Borja Mayoral (Meniscus injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We reckon that Azulones will likely elect for a 4-4-2 lineup by sending out David Soria, Jose Angel Carmona, Djene, Omar Alderete, Diego Rico, Luis Milla, Jesus Santiago, Nemanja Maksimovic, Oscar Rodriguez, Mason Greenwood and Juanmi Latasa.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that Getafe and UD Almería could end up without much reward for their efforts here.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore seeing a close game with a 0-0 draw when the referee blows the final whistle.
