Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Celta Vigo will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless run when they take on Almeria on Matchday 27. Os Celeste are eager to escape the danger zone and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Talented Sweden midfielder Williot Swedberg is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with Cadiz, while Iago Aspas serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team still eyeing their first win of the process. Even though Almeria managed to hold star-studded Atletico Madrid to a 2-2 draw at the weekend, we are tempted to put our money on Celta Vigo, who are desperate to move away from the bottom three. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
