Almeria v Real Sociedad is a La Liga Week 16 match played on Sunday at 14:00: odds, predictions, TV and streaming
If we were only to look at the Spanish La Liga standings, there should be no doubt as to who should take home the entire stake. Host Almeria have 17 points and are fighting for safety despite having several teams behind them. It is a different story for Real Sociedad, who are behind Barcelona and Real Madrid in third place in the table.
As I said, stopping at this data alone, the match that will open Sunday’s Spanish championship would be a guest victory. And, in the end, it should also go like this. Of course, it won’t be easy for Alguacil’s men to succeed, even if, for Real Sociedad, the season has started again with two victories in as many matches. In the physical aspect, therefore, the break has not been ‘paid for’ unlike what has happened to other teams.
There is, moreover, another fact to put under the magnifying glass and that is the away record of the guests: five victories in seven matches played away from home. Away from home, in short, Sociedad perform better. Of course, Almeria have also done great things at home, since the spoils they have built up so far have almost all been in front of their own fans. But in the end, the qualities should really come through, with a guest victory eventually coming in any case.

The Prediction
Despite some important absences, Real Sociedad should be able to take this umpteenth victory of their season, which would keep them in third place in the standings for another week. For Almeria, the classification is not entirely worrying at the moment. And the points are needed more by the visitors, who will have to fight, hard, for a Champions League spot next season.
