Prediction: 1-2
Atletico Madrid
Power Horse Stadium will host an eagerly-awaited Primera Division game between Almeria and Atletico Madrid, two teams with contrasting ambitions for the rest of the season. The Andalusians are desperate to avoid relegation, while Diego Simeone’s troops are eyeing a top-four finish. Almeria have yet to record a win in the 2023/2024 La Liga campaign and they face yet another uphill task against los Rojiblancos. Even though both Leo Baptistao and Largie Ramazani are back from suspension, home win should not be considered.
The capital club, on the other hand, rolled over Las Palmas 5-0 in their last league match and seeing that Almeria suit Alvaro Morata and Co, we are tempted to place our bets on the visitors. Both Thomas Lemar and Cesar Azpilicueta remain in the recovery room, while aforementioned attacker Morata is back to the starting XI after overcoming a knee injury.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Almeria):
UD Almeria is a Spanish club based in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Los Rojiblancos are one of the newer additions to the Spanish football system, with the club being founded on July 26, 1989.
Almeria suffered relegation to Segunda Division in the 2014/15 season, and they have been competing in the Spanish second tier ever since. Los Rojiblancos are well known for their white shirts with red stripes, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Sofiane Feghouli, Felipe Melo, Diego Alves, Veljko Paunovic, Aleix Vidal, Alvaro Negredo, Tomer Hemed, and Mate Bilic are some notable footballers who played for Almeria in the past. Fellow Andalusian clubs Sevilla, Malaga, and Granada are considered the club’s fiercest rivals.
The club’s biggest success in Copa del Rey came in the 2010/11 season when they made it to the semis of the prestigious competition. Nonetheless, Catalan giants Barcelona proved to be a big catch for Almeria in the Spanish Cup semi-finals.
