Atl. Madrid vs Almeria Prediction & Betting Tips (10 December)

Atlético Madrid, a member of the Top 4, should logically pocket 3 new points against the red lantern of this Liga, Almeria, still looking for its first victory and which has already suffered 11 defeats in 15 days. Diego Simeone's gang will try to continue their flawless performance at the Metropolitano Stadium where they have 9 successes in 9 receptions, La Liga and Champions League combined. The Colchoneros will want to resume their march forward after the failure in Barcelona 1-0 on December 3. At home, the partners of Antoine Griezmann, 2nd top scorer in the championship with 9 goals, remain on 3 convincing successes against Celtic 6-0 in the Champions League, against Villarreal 3-1 and before Mallorca 1-0 at the end of November. The red lantern Almeria has just been knocked out of the Copa del Rey by the very modest team of Barbastro 1-0 this December 6.

..One more failure which plunges the bottom of the class into very deep trouble! Away, Almeria is on a long series of 6 defeats in a row away in La Liga including 3 heavy losses to Sevilla 5-1, Bilbao 3-0 and Girona 5-2. If last season, the Madrid club had won 2 goals to 1 in the capital, Atlético should win again but with a larger score as the difference in level is very high between these two clubs.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Atl. Madrid matches in the LaLiga, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Almeria. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
