Atletico Madrid vs Almeria Prediction: Almeria Fights for Survival

Prediction for the La Liga Atletico Madrid vs Almeria match which will take place on April 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Atletico modestly spent the first half of the championship. By January, they risked losing a chance for the UEFA competitions for the next season, but then Diego Simeone enhanced the wards, who played quite differently. In the last 12 rounds, Madrid has not suffered a single defeat, having won nine times with three draws. Great result! Moreover, now we see that Atletico does not suffer on the pitch, but play football, although this was rare for them. Such a fast breakthrough has led to Atletico's third place in the standings, two points behind Real Madrid.

Almeria has their debut season after returning to the elite Spanish division, but they risked going to Segunda again. Fortunately, the latest results have little stabilized the situation. Joan Rubi's wards did not have a single defeat in the three previous rounds. Cadiz and Celta shared points – 1:1 and 2:2, and then beat Valencia – 2:1. Five points scored in three meetings allowed them to achieve 16th place in the standings, three points ahead of the relegation zone. At the same time, it is too early for Almeria to relax, and the whole struggle for survival is still on.

Almeria is a team that continues to fight for survival in La Liga and needs points. Recently, they have been able to get the result, but it is unlikely that Atletico cares about it because they are now in phenomenal shape. Madrid has not lost in the past 12 games and only won in the last five matches. And now Atletico is the favorite. Besides, in the previous two personal meetings in the capital, they beat Almeria – 4:2 and 3:0. 

We are used to Madrid players always playing extremely pragmatically, but we may expect effective actions from them in the upcoming game. In the last six meetings with Almeria in the capital, the AM scored 19 goals (3.17 on average per game), which is a very high result.
