Our Latest Almeria vs Elche Predictions and Tips

If you wish to take a look at our top La Liga predictions, including our best picks for Almeria vs Elche, you came to the perfect place:

Almeria to Win

Despite already being relegated pretty much, Elche demolished Rayo Vallecano 4-0 in the last round, which was only their third win of the season. Meanwhile, Almeria is fighting for their life as well, but they've been inconsistent lately.

Still, Almeria is the better team of the two this season and this is a great chance for them to stay outside of the relegation zone with three more points. With that in mind, our first Almeria vs Elche prediction is for the home team to win the match.

Over 2.5 Total Goals

We saw three or more goals in just one of the last five head-to-head duels between these two teams, but our second Almeria vs Elche prediction is over 2.5 total goals.

The reason for this is simple – Almeria averaged 3.03 goals per game in La Liga so far, while Elche averaged 2.69 goals per game in La Liga this season.

Check the latest news and information on both teams ahead of their duel right here, including the most probable Almeria vs Elche lineups:

Almeria

In the last six games in La Liga, Almeria has two win, one draw, and three losses, so they have clearly been inconsistent. Still, that was enough to help them get out of the relegation zone for now. However, with six rounds left in the season and Almeria just two points ahead of the relegation zone, it's clear that their fans are in for a stresful end of the season.

Meanwhile, the team is without injured Diego Fuoli and El Bilal Toure, but the rest of the team is in good shape.

Almeria Predicted Lineup:

Martinez – Pozo, Chumi, Babic, Centelles – Melero, De la Hoz, Robertone – Baptistao, Suarez, Embarba

Elche

Although Elche still has some theoretical chances to stay up, they are currently seventeen points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone and with six games left to be played, it's pretty much clear that Elche will be moving to Segunda for next season. That being said, the team got their third win of the season in the last round, beating Rayo Vallecano 4-0.

When it comes to team news, Omar Mascarell, Pedro Bigas, Jose Angel Carmona, and Helibelton Palacios are on the team's injury list right now.

Player to Watch: Lucas Robertone

This can be a close game and one move can decide the entire match. One player that is capable of doing that is Lucas Robertone, thanks to his vision and ability to dictate the offense from midfield.

The Argentinian has been in solid form for Almeria this season, with two goals and seven assists to his name in La Liga. So, Elche will have to pay close attention to Robertone in this match.
