Almería - Villarreal predictions

Almería may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Villarreal. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 3.49 for the hosts to win.

With a price of 2.15 on them winning, Villarreal should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

Almería managed to go home with a 2:2 draw in the last round – which took a considerable effort. They were matched up as visitors against Real Sociedad , who were heavily favoured at odds of 1.34. The home team never pressed their advantage, so the score was even at half-time as well.

Villarreal took home a single point after their previous away game. However, if we take into account the overwhelming odds they were up against in that matchup against Athletic Bilbao, the final 1:1 draw seems like a fairly solid performance.

Almería tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

The Yellow Submarine have scored 7 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

The season is already in its latter stages, which is becoming a big problem for Almería. They’re still in the relegation zone and are going into a difficult fight, so their chances of moving up are getting smaller with each passing round.

A quick look at the season’s match history tells us that Villarreal won the last time these two squads clashed. It’s easy to see why most bookies online expect them to come out on top again, even if said victory was a narrow home win.

With Francis Coquelin, Juan Foyth, Denis Suárez, Eric Bailly kept from the game due to injuries, the away team is forced to switch things up. They are still considered favourites, but it’s something to keep in mind.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.62, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
