Basement club Almeria’s struggles seem to have no end as they travel to a Valencia side looking to stay in the European qualification spots. This matchday 23 will be played at the Mestalla Stadium on Saturday. The hosts are 8th with 32 points ahead of this round while the visitors are 20th with six points. Valencia find themselves four points behind top-six and would be keen to stay in the hunt for a European spot. A 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the last round notwithstanding, they have been impressive in the recent times. They have won four and drawn one match in La Liga before that defeat to Atletico. The hosts look well-placed for an immediate bounce back, as Valencia have won four and drawn two of their last six home league games.

Almeria are looking like a side that could already be planning for the next season in second division. They are 11 points behind safety, and are the only side yet to win a league game in this campaign. That is largely due to the fact that they have struggled at both ends of the pitch. Almeria have conceded a league-high 49 goals while their tally of 21 goals is amongst the lowest in the division. To add to those worries, Almeria have struggled big time when playing away from home. They have won just one point in away league games this season, and have lost ten away league games in a row.
