Almeria

The stakes couldn’t be higher for Almeria and Villarreal as they prepare to lock horns at the Power Horse Stadium on Sunday afternoon. For the home side, it’s a battle for La Liga survival, while the visitors are firmly focused on securing European qualification for next season. Almeria’s Uphill Climb Rooted to the bottom of the league table with a measly 14 points from 31 games, Almeria’s plight is looking increasingly desperate.

The clash between Real Sociedad and Almeria in La Liga this Sunday is a study in contrasts, with the in-form hosts looking to extend their winning run against the league’s basement dwellers. Having bowed out of the Champions League at the hands of French giants PSG, Real Sociedad have refocused their attentions on securing a European berth through La Liga. Currently sixth, they trail the top four by nine points with just eight games remaining.
