Description

A win will extend an impressive 11-game league sequence where the only blip was a loss to Madrid, so Barcelona will have little reason to be fearful when Almería visit. The hosts have won their seven previous home H2Hs, scoring 3.43 goals per game whilst keeping five clean sheets, and another defensive masterclass might be around the corner as the Catalans are yet to concede at home this league campaign (W5, D1). Mid-table Almería are hovering closer to the relegation zone but can’t be taken lightly, arriving on the back of three wins across five games (L2). Each of those victories saw the Andalusians score three times which represents a real uptick in goalscoring form considering they had not previously managed three goals in a league game since May.
