Almeria vs Valencia Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd September 2023

At Power Horse Stadium, Valencia and Almeria battle it out for three points in a La Liga match where both are in need of points to boost their tally.

Almeria are 20 in the rankings with one point after five matches played , whereas Valencia rank five in the La Liga on nine points.

Their upcoming match is a difficult challenge for Almeria, who next face Valencia in their continuous fight to avoid relegation. They should be highly motivated to spring a surprise, even against a tough opponent like Valencia.

Almeria scored 12 goals, conceded 18 and fought their way to two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Valencia scored 13 goals, conceded nine and managed three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Almeria vs Valencia Prediction

Almeria Form

In their previous three outings, Almeria drew 1-1 with Cadiz, before losing 2-3 against Celta Vigo and 2-1 against Villarreal. Almeria claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the La Liga. They also drew one and lost three, scored eight goals and conceded nine.

A top half finish is the dream for Almeria, but neutral spectators have them down for a season in the lower end of the La Liga.

Valencia Form

Valencia collected one win from their last three matches, as Osasuna won by 1-2. Deportivo Alaves were too strong as well, winning 1-0, before Valencia won 3-0 against Atletico Madrid. Valencia claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the La Liga. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and six scored.

Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Valencia, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the La Liga.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Almeria and Valencia.

Almeria have a record of zero wins, one draw and four defeats in the La Liga this season. Valencia are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording three wins and two defeats in the La Liga.
