Odds: Almeria (12/5) Draw (12/5) Sociedad (11/10)Gamingtips Prediction – Almeria 1:2 Sociedad
Almerica come into this tie desperate for a win as games are slowly running out in the Spanish Primera. A win will move them out of the relegation zone and give them great confidence for their next match against Valencia at home. Real Sociedad have their eyes set on a guaranteed Europa League spot and a win will move them ahead of 5th position Sevilla and to within 6 points off a Champions League placing. Almeria’s biggest problem is scoring goals – they have scored just 27 goals in 28 games and conceded 52. Real Sociedad have scored 49 goals in 28 games and conceded 39. Real Sociedad have the 2nd worst defensive record in the top half of the Spanish Primera and this gives Almeria an outside chance of causing an upset however they will need to improve upon their 1 goal per game average if they are to keep up with a side who score almost 2 goals per game on average.
