Almeria have struggled on their recent travels, with each of their previous five top-flight matches ending in one-goal defeats. However, the Mallorca star has been shining a little brighter in his own spot lately, as they have won five of seven home games, including one success in their last five games.
Almeria is not used to getting involved in too many thrillers, in 17 of the previous 19 games, under 3.5 goals were the order of the day at the top of LaLiga. It’s certainly something Mallorca can relate to, as 10 of their last 10 games at this level have seen three goals or less, so any departure from that script would be a shock.
One area where Mallorca have been incredibly consistent in LaLiga competition recently is going into games where the both teams find the back of the net, which has been the case in 10 of their previous 12 meetings. Moreover, Almeria have scored in all nine continental competitions this season and should be chasing the game.
Almeria have played 51 Premier League matches, with under 3.5 goals conceded in each of those matches. Given that 19 of Mallorca’s last 21 games at this level have seen three or fewer goals, something similar is expected in this much-anticipated clash.
