Almeria-Barcelona is a match in the twenty-third day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 18:30: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
Everything about La Liga. Also because that is all Barcelona have left after their elimination from the Europa League at the hands of Manchester United. The Catalans now have only one thing on their mind, unlike Ancelotti’s side who are chasing and in the running for the Champions League: to win the Spanish league again.
At the moment, Xavi’s team in Spain has never missed a beat. They haven’t lost for a long time and have a good margin over the Blancos, who, moreover, are engaged in the derby against Atletico Madrid. It could therefore be an important day for the Blaugrana, who aim to put behind them the bitter European elimination. Xavi is unlucky – or not yet ready – when he has to compete on these levels. At home it is all easier.
And the Catalan side should honestly have no problems against Almeria. They have 22 points in the standings, are in fourth last place and would obviously need a positive result as they fight for safety. But the hosts come to this fixture from three defeats in a row and the fourth is obviously around the corner. Yes, now facing Barcelona, who will always have the opportunity to prepare for their commitments week after week, becomes difficult for everyone. Without European ‘hiccups’ Barcelona becomes, not only for the league table, the number one favourite for the final victory in the Spanish La Liga.
An exultation of the Barcelona players
The prediction
A match that at least three goals should give them. A match that Barcelona should have no particular problem bringing home. Victory and three points for the line-up coached by Xavi, which by the time they take the field will be the result of Real Madrid. And whatever that is, there is no doubt that it will give extra motivation to immediately bite the bullet and close the match as soon as possible. Finally, look out for the possibility of this one coming unstuck in the first 45 minutes.
