Almeria vs Getafe Prediction & Betting Tips (27 April)

If you believe in Santa Claus, then you can still believe in Almeria remaining in the Spanish elite. For the others, the fate of La Union in La Liga is sealed since it is still 17 points behind the first non-relegation team in the championship, Celta Vigo. To give an idea, there are still 18 points to take in this championship and the mission therefore proves impossible for this team which has only won once this year in La Liga. Without making any unnecessary detours, Almeria lost last weekend to Villarreal at home 1-2 following on from their encouraging draw against Real Sociedad in the Basque Country 2-2 and a heavy defeat against at Osasuna at home 0-3. This series of three matches without success in La Liga started after the Andalusians' only success in the league, won on the turf of a promoted team, Las Palmas 0-1.

First expected to play the maintenance, Getafe was able to show the crocs this year and this team absolutely does not deserve its current 10th place in the ranking. She can even still nourish the ambition of finishing at the height of the top 7 in order to be qualified to participate in the play-offs of the next Europa Conference League this summer. However, things seem to be getting tougher for the residents of the Coliseum Alfonso Perez who have been playing for several matches without their main offensive asset, Mayoral, and who have stagnated over 3 days of the championship without a victory including two successive draws conceded against Rayo Vallecano 0-0 and , last weekend, against Real Sociedad 1-1.

The important Ramazani (3 goals, 5 assists in La Liga) stood out in the bad sense of the word last weekend by receiving two yellows in the space of 20 minutes coming off the bench. The latter will therefore be suspended this Saturday and he joins a list of absentees already made up of Radovanovic, the former Marseillais Luis Suarez (fractured fibula) and the holder Edgar Gonzalez (ex-Bétis). Furthermore, Melero (suspended for disciplinary reasons) will serve his 4th and final match of suspension. On a personal level, the crack Sergio Arribas (6 goals) is having a good season and he should find a buyer during the transfer window so as not to go down to D2.

As mentioned a little above, Getafe must cope without its best offensive asset Borja Mayoral (15 goals in La Liga) who was violently injured and who will be OUT until the end of the exercise. Also note the injuries to Alena (crucial in midfield), Arambarri (end of season), Dominguos Duarte and Iglesias (2 assists in 23 appearances this season). Returning to the forefront after his absence from professional football for more than a year, Mason Greenwood made a good comeback with the Azulones this season (6 goals, 5 assists).
