It is neither good nor disastrous for Almeria with just two points from their last three matches. They first drew 0-0 against Real Valladolid, followed by another draw. This time 3-3 against Espanyol, before going down in a 0-2 defeat against Rayo Vallecano. Almeria won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the La Liga, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored eight and conceded six goals.

Almeria’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the La Liga.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Sevilla by 1-2, before drawing 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Athletic Bilbao by a 0-2 scoreline. In their last six La Liga away matches, Real Madrid have three wins, they've drawn zero and lost one three. They scored eight while also conceding eight times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.

A runners-up spot is the absolute minimum Real Madrid should achieve for a season in which a tilt at league glory is their top priority.
