Las Palmas vs Almeria Predictions

Las Palmas are heading for a midtable finish in the Segunda, but can they boost themselves into the top half with a victory? They are heading into their final home game of the season, while Almeria are looking to move closer to the playoffs. The visitors are already eight points shy of the top six so they’ve been ruled out of the running, but can they climb the table anyway? Or will the away side see their rotten record on the road continue in this encounter on Sunday?

Las Palmas have kept themselves clear of danger this season, but the hosts haven’t made a serious push for a return to the top-flight. They come into Sunday’s game on the up, having picked up a few decent results at home of late. They’ve had to rely on their home results to keep them safe this term, with 67% of their points coming from games at home. The hosts have also scored 66% of their goals at this ground too, so they are massively reliant on home advantage this term.

Almeria are another outfit who have been much more comfortable at home. They’ve picked up 62% of their points at home, while they are heading into this clash with an away record which is bound to leave them low on confidence. This is a club which has seen highs in recent years, given their two spells in the top flight, but they seem to be hitting their level in this division after a few tough years. Almeria were in relegation trouble straight after dropping out of La Liga, having finished 18th, 15th and 18th in their last three seasons. Having moved into ninth, they can be content with the season so far.

However, their away record leaves a lot to be desired. This term, Almeria have won just five times on their travels, losing on nine occasions. They’ve scored less than a goal per game on the road, failing to score in 45% of their trips. Almeria have lost to nil in 35% of their away games, conceding 24 times on the road. They are heading here with a poor away record overall, while of late the visitors have had serious troubles.

Almeria have won just one of their last five, while they’ve been beaten in four of their last six away trips. That includes three defeats in four matches at on their travels, while Las Palmas have won their last three home games. We are siding with the hosts here, who are well priced despite having form on their side going into this game.
