Real Madrid Almeria match: Los Blancos bounce back from Copa del Rey exit
Real Madrid aims to reclaim top spot in La Liga as they face bottom-of-the-table Almeria at Santiago Bernabeu. Expect a comfortable victory.
Real Madrid is gearing up to take on Almeria at the Santiago Bernabeu in a bid to regain the top spot in La Liga. The team had a rollercoaster week, winning the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona but suffering a defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey. This loss ended their 21-game unbeaten run and dashed their hopes of defending their domestic cup title.
Carlo Ancelotti's side is still in a strong position in the league, only one point behind leaders Girona. Real Madrid is undefeated at home this season and will be looking to extend their impressive record against Almeria, who have never beaten them in the top flight.
Almeria, at the bottom of the table, are still searching for their first win of the season, having collected only six points from 20 games. They have lost 14 of their league matches and have scored only 19 goals while conceding the most (43) in the division.
Real Madrid will be without some key players due to injuries, while Almeria has one player suspended and three injuries. Real Madrid is the clear favorite to win, given their superior squad and formidable home record. We expect a comfortable victory for the hosts, with Vinicius Junior returning to scoring form.
