Almeria vs Espanyol Prediction: The guests are underestimated

Prediction for the match between Almeria and Espanyol, which will take place on January 27. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Almeria can be called a mid-sized team, given that this team ranks 14th in the league standings. The future hosts have 19 points, two points more than Valladolid, located in the relegation zone, which means that in this regard, Almeria is not so average because this team may fall into the bottom three in a tour or two. As for the current form of Almeria, after the season's resumption, this club has not won once, playing three draws with Cadiz, Atletico, and Valencia and losing without a draw to Real Sociedad. Overall, Almeria's home statistics are not bad, eighth in the division, with five wins in nine games and a goal difference of 14:11.

Espanyol lost away to Athletic on January 18 and dropped out of the Spanish Cup. But in La Liga, the Catalans have excellent statistics after the World Cup, with two wins over Betis and Getafe in 4 games and two draws against Barcelona and Girona. Eight points in four rounds allowed Espanyol to rise above Almeria in the championship standings. Before the start of the reporting round, they are 13th in the division, with an asset of 20 points. Espanyol's away stats are seventh in the division, +2=5-2, 11:11 goal difference.

Despite the statistics of personal meetings between Almeria and Espanyol and the fact of the different current forms of the opponents, bookmakers are on the side of the future field hosts in the pair. We remind you that Almeria hasn't won a single match since the World Cup, while Espanyol hasn't lost a single game, for example, beating a strong and motivated Betis in the last round. We believe that future guests are underestimated. We won't be surprised if the Catalans outplay their opponent on the road.
