Almería - Real Sociedad betting tips and odds

While Almería winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Real Sociedad, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Sociedad should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.00, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

A Cádiz draw for Almería and a point from a tough trip away in the La Liga will have been enough a motivation for the home side. They were not favoured to get anything out of their previous match and to see them lead at the halftime mark and claim a point in the end must feel good to their fans.

The visiting team are coming on the back of a decisive victory in their recent home game, which earned them 3 points and a solid 2:0 goal difference. Such an outcome was hardly surprising, though – most bookmakers online saw them as the clearly stronger team in that particular matchup.

Not only are they dangerously close to the relegation zone with 17 keeping them from the bottom-placed sides, but Almería are also in for a difficult challenge this Sunday. Team from San Sebastian are coming to Estadio Municipal Juan Rojas and will be looking to add insult to injury in what’s so far been a largely underwhelming campaign for the home team.

As we head into the round 16, Sociedad are well-poised to make another advance towards the league title. Sitting in 3rd place at the moment, they have a great chance of claiming much needed three points against Almería.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.8. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
