At 03:30 a.m. Beijing time on May 17, 2024, the 36th round of La Liga will start a key battle, and Barcelona will challenge Almeria, the vice leader of the league, away from home. Who will die in this game? I'm going to give you some brief analysis of this game below.
Almeria, who play at home, have secured a thronged league position with just one win this season, and relegation has already been confirmed after last month's defeat to Getafe. At the moment, the team is completely demoralized. According to the stats, Almeria have conceded 70 goals this season and the poor quality of the defence has made it difficult for them to make a difference in the game. What's more, Almeria has only won 9 defeats and 8 draws in the league in 17 home games this season, and it is difficult to find a win. Almeria, who have no fighting spirit, will have a hard time gaining the trust of their fans. From now on, Almeria's players and coaches are thinking about how to get a lot of people in La Liga next season to try to get back to La Liga as soon as possible.
Due to the lack of victory in the last two rounds of La Liga dark horse Girona, Barcelona has successfully overtaken its opponent and risen to the second place in the league with one less round. Although Real Madrid has already won the championship ahead of schedule, Barcelona will have to fight for the second place in the league and defend their dignity. Therefore, Barcelona's desire to play in this game cannot be ignored, and Barcelona's 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad at home last time swept away the haze of losing to Girona, which also regained the team's confidence. In this game, facing Almeria, the vice-squad leader who has no intention of fighting, Barcelona has no reason to let the winning streak end.
In terms of head-to-head records, although Almeria has had the experience of upsetting Barcelona 1:0, Almeria's form this season is too poor, and the team has been relegated and has no desire to be a team. On the other hand, Barcelona wants to win to open the points gap with the dark horse Girona and win the league runner-up, so this game is optimistic that Barcelona will beat the opponent by a big margin.
