ALMERIA – GETAFE | Wednesday 7pm
Win at home and lose away. If that were always the case, Almeria would have no difficulty in saving themselves. In their last six outings, the hosts – who host an in-form Getafe this evening – have won at home and then lost away. Clean sweep in this way, without a hitch. Although it is difficult for such a team, obviously built to achieve salvation, to always win when playing in front of their own public. An away victory every now and then is also needed. But at least for the moment, as the teams at the back are struggling and struggling a lot, it’s okay this way.
We were saying: Getafe in form. Yes, the host troop comes to this challenge that will open the Wednesday 9 November Spanish La Liga programme on the strength of five useful results in a row, some of them even prestigious ones against Bilbao, for example. A Getafe side that got off to a poor start to the year but now seems to have bounced back as, looking back over the last nine league outings, the visiting side have racked up a total of seven useful results. In short, all the points have been scored in this period of time, and in this challenge, too, in all likelihood, there should be some very heavy points for the continuation of the championship.

The Prediction
In a match that should yield at least one goal per team, it seems highly likely that this match could end in a draw. Not least because both teams’ standings are very quiet at the moment, and moving up is always a good thing.
