Almería’s hopes of getting their first win of La Liga season hinge on improving their record considerably, when they face Mallorca. This matchday 17 will be played at the Power Horse Stadium in Almería on Sunday. This round sees Almería start bottom of the table with only four points while the visitors are 15th with 14 points. Almería are the only league side yet to win in this La Liga campaign, and have lost the highest number of matches – 12 of 16. The hosts lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in their last league game. That result made it just one point for the hosts across their last eight league games. Their form at home has been slightly better with three draws and two defeats from their last five home league matches.

Mallorca defeated Sevilla 1-0 in a huge win for the club, making it six points from their last three league games. This total is nearly half of their season’s tally and puts them four points above the relegation zone ahead of this round. They still remain one of the goal-shy sides with their total of 14 goals scored being the joint-second worst in La Liga this season. Regardless, Mallorca have proven themselves to be a side that can pick up points – doing so in seven of their last ten league games. That said, they have a mountain to climb on the road with three defeats in a row in La Liga away from home. All those matches saw them fail to score and that record could again hamper their chances.
