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.

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.

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.
