Las Palmas - Almería predictions

The online bookies marked Las Palmas as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Almería winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The odds are stacked heavily against Almería here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Las Palmas are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.31.

Las Palmas’s defeat in their previous home game was painful, but it can’t really be used to judge their form. After all, they were up against Athletic Bilbao , who are widely considered much stronger. Las Palmas were already behind at the half-time mark, and they didn’t fair much better later on, which all resulted in a devastating 0:2 loss.

Almería’s latest home match against Sevilla ended in a 2:2 draw. All things considered, though, such an outcome is not all bad for them. They were still up against overwhelming odds - most online sportsbooks priced a home win at 3.49, but Almería even took the lead in the first half.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Despite playing on home turf, Almería’s latest home games tend to end inconclusively. Currently, they’re on a string of 3 home draws so, hopefully, an away game is what’s needed for a more comprehensive result.

As the number 20th team in the standings, Almería will be relegated unless they can move up before it’s too late. There’s a bit of time left, but it’s quickly running out. Considering most bookies are pricing an away win at 4.31, though, things don’t look too promising.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.96 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Las Palmas won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Playing a somewhat risky Home Win bet is the best move for this particular matchup. The odds of 2.01 are good in terms of value, but you need to keep in mind that success is by no means guaranteed.
