Valencia vs Almeria Prediction & Match Preview

• Valencia won four and drew two of the last six league games on the home patch.
• Almeria took just one point from twelve league outings on the road this term.
• Almeria boast the weakest defensive record in La Liga with 49 goals allowed in 22 outings.

Valencia ended their four-win streak in the league with a 0-2 defeat at Atletico Madrid last weekend. They will have a nice opportunity to bounce back right away this Saturday. Los Che play host to Almeria in Matchday No 23 at Estadio de Mestalla.

Valencia have been very difficult to break down in their own backyard this term. They conceded just five goals in ten league matches at Estadio de Mestalla. A run of four consecutive victories have brought Los Che to the battle for European positions. Ruben Baraja’s men are only four points shy of Real Sociedad in sixth place at the moment.

Almeria are obviously the weakest team in the league this term. They are still searching for the inaugural top-flight win this season. The latest of the failures for Gaizka Garitano’s troops happened last Friday. They fell 0-3 at home to Deportivo Alaves. It was the fourth loss in the last five league affairs for Almeria.

Valencia vs Almeria Prediction

Almeria took just one point in twelve away outings in this term of La Liga. No team have conceded more than their 49 goals so far in the season. Garitano’s men shipped three goals in each of the last two league affairs. Everything points towards Valencia’s win here. Los Che are unbeaten in six successive home outings in La Liga. They have won four and drawn two along the way. The home win is paid at the 1.65 odds.

The value is also great with Hugo Duro to score anytime at the 2.50 odds. Duro has been Valencia’s talisman this season. He has nine goals to his name already. He is now up against the worst defensive line in the division on the home patch.
