Team News

Almeria
Valencia
  • An injury to Ximo Navarro means that Michel Macedo has an additional chance to nail down his first-team place at right-back for the hosts.
  • Angel Trujillo is suspended after picking up a straight red card last game, meaning that Antonio Marin is likely to partner Mauro Dos Santos at centre-back.
  • Verza and Thomas Partey are likely to start in the middle of the park, given that Valencia have a number of creative midfield options.
  • Rodrigo is a continued absentee, with the former Benfica man still serving a suspension.
  • Andre Gomes is unavailable due to injury, with Enzo Perez likely to be the Portuguese midfielder's replacement, but the former Benfica man is also carrying a knock.
  • Few changes are expected for the away side, who battled from a goal down against Celta Vigo last time out after a disappointing first-half performance.

Prediction

  • The home side are winless in four matches and need three points if they are to stand any chance of remaining in La Liga for another campaign.
  • Valencia, however, have picked up three draws and a defeat from their last four games on the road, meaning that Almeria have a chance of stealing some points.
  • Nuno Santo Espirito's men need a win if they are to have an opportunity to replace Atletico in third place, which would ensure that the visitors gain automatic qualification into the Champions League for the coming season.
