Team News

Almeria
Barcelona
  • Largie Ramazani is still suspended after his aggressive rant towards the referee in a defeat to Villarreal.
  • Marcos Pena played well against Betis. The 19-year-old will definitely be part of Pepe Mel's plans next season in the second division.
  • Luis Suarez came on in the 79th minute against Betis and could well be utilised again by his manager against Barcelona.
  • Ilkay Gundogan picked up a one-match-ban against Sociedad and will sit this one out. Oriol Romeu or Sergi Roberto could step in to replace him.
  • Raphinha scored a penalty late on over the weekend and earned a man of the match performance. He should get the nod over Fermin Lopez.

Head to Head Stats

19 Almeria 3 12 23 21

Prediction

  • Almeria stare a difficult challenge in the face this weekend as they face Barcelona in Andalusia. If the reverse fixture is anything to go by, Almeria are somewhat of a bogey team against Xavi's men, losing narrowly last time out and triumphing in a 1-0 win the time the two met last season.
  • Barca have scored eight goals in their last three, though - a tough stat for Pepe Mel's men. He will be looking to experiment and analyse his options for next season in the Segunda Division. Almeria have scored four in their last three, signifying this one as a potential goal fest.
  • Barcelona should get over the line in this one, though.
