Almeria-Sevilla is a match on the third day of the Spanish La Liga
Two league games and no wins. And who could have expected a start like that from Lopetegui’s Sevilla, beaten on the first day by Osasuna and stopped at home last weekend by Valladolid. One point in the standings in short, as did newly-promoted Almeria, who after losing at home to reigning champions Real Madrid, drew against Elche away. A good start in a nutshell, although this time, again, a defeat could come at home.
The Andalusian team certainly cannot afford any more missteps if they do not want to stray too far away from the top of the table, especially as those in front are pushing and have no intention of stopping. If, then, the objective is to gain Champions League qualification next season, then it goes without saying that Sevilla are almost obliged to win this match. Otherwise you might as well say goodbye – too soon – to all those possible dreams of glory. Exaggerated you will say. It may well be, but you know that it is always difficult to recover afterwards.
