Valencia vs Almeria. Prediction and Betting Tips for La Liga

A comfortable 4:0 victory over a Segunda side, Gijon, should improve team's morale condition. A successful performance in Copa del Rey helped the fans to forget about problems in La Liga at least for some time. Valencia are underperforming once again, but fans are hoping that after the opening of a new stadium team will become much more competitive. 

Just one victory in eight latest matches leaves the Bats in a serious danger of relegation - hosts might leave La Liga for the first time since 1985/86 season. The Oranges are usually unsuccessful on Monday - just one victory in ten matches. Overall, Gennaro Gattuso's men have five victories and four draws, delivering 19 points and a 13th position in the standings. Team scored 23 goals so far. In the most recent game Valencians suffered an unexpected defeat to Cadiz (0:1). 

Castillejo, Domenech, Nico, Correia and Diakhaby will miss the upcoming game. 

Visitors are behind the hosts in the standings, but newly-promoted Almeria are fighting to avoid relegation since the first matches. It is team's only goal in the current season. Rubi's men are going through a winless run and team's head coach is under a huge pressure. Chances for a victory are pretty low, because the Red-Whites are unsuccessful on away fixtures in the current season. They also have the worst offensive record in the league. Moreover, team has a disastrous record in head-to-head matches against Valencia.

After 17 matches the visitors have five victories and three draws, delivering 18 points and a 15th position in the standings. Team drew to Atletico (1:1) in the most recent game. 

Kaiky will miss the upcoming game through injury.
