Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Almeria
Match Time & Date:
02/05/2023
19:30
Prediction: 2-0
Elche
Following a 4-2 loss to Real Madrid at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Almeria will look to escape the danger zone when they take on Elche in the La Liga round 33. The Andalusians will not have a better chance than this to get back on course, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Serbian defender Srdjan Babic returns from suspension, whereas Argentine midfielder Lucas Robertone is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, rolled over Rayo Vallecano 4-0 at the weekend, but given their four-game losing run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the midweek clash. As for the away team, all Alamo, Bigas, Carmona, Mascarell, and Palacios remain in the recovery room.
