Team News

Almeria
Real Madrid
  • Almería will likely turn to Sergio Arribas in attack to replace the young Lázaro, who had a disappointing game last week. Arribas, however, came off the bench and from a losing position created the most chances in the game for his team.
  • Léo Baptistão and Martin Svidersky are still out with long-term injuries.
  • Real Madrid will make at least two changes from last week's victory over Athletic Club: Kepa Arrizabalaga will start in goal following his loan move from Chelsea and Antonio Rüdiger will replace the injured Éder Militão.
  • Carlo Ancelotti will likely remain reliant on an injection of youth in his starting eleven, leaving out veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić for the second week running.
  • Real Madrid are still in the market for another defender and could make another signing by the end of the week.

Prediction

  • Real Madrid have been plagued by injury since the start of the season, losing two of their biggest defensive stars, but still look in good shape to win a second game on the bounce in La Liga.
  • Almeria, who were beaten 2-0 by Rayo Vallecano at home last week, will host another Madrid side this week, hoping to salvage a point or more against Los Blancos.
  • The hosts were not able to score last week against Rayo, whilst Real cruised past Athletic Club at the impenetrable San Mamés. Arguably the easiest game to predict this week, Madrid should win comfortably.
