Contents
Valencia to Win
The Bats have struggled in La Liga recently as they lost four of their last six matches, while Almeria is in a bit better form lately. Still, the two teams are only separated by one point right now.
With that in mind, we can still see Valencia winning this match. After all, they are the better team on paper and they are hosting the game, which should be enough to get them the win against Almeria.
Edinson Cavani to Score at Any Time
While Cavani is not among the top goalscorers in La Liga right now since he only scored five goals this season in the league, he managed to do that in just nine matches.
So, Cavani is clearly still at the top of his game and his experience is very valuable for this Valencia team, so our prediction is for the Uruguayan striker to find the net in this upcoming game.

Predicted Lineups, Form, and Team News for Valencia vs Almeria
This can be a very interesting duel, so let's take a better look at both teams before they meet:
Valencia
It's been a rough stretch recently for Valencia since the team lost four of their last six games, along with one win and one draw. Because of that, Valencia dropped to the twelfth place in the standings and they are also just three points ahead of the first team in the relegatoin zone. So, they need a good result in their next match to get some confidence back.
Meanwhile, the team is without injured Samu Castillejo and Nico Gonzalez, but the rest of the team is in good shape right now.
Valencia Predicted Lineup:
Mamardashvili – Correia, Comert, Diakhaby, Gaya – Musah, Guillamon, Almeida – Lino, Cavani, Kluivert
Almeria
With two wins, two draws, and two losses in the last six La Liga matches, Almeria has clearly been a bit inconsistent lately. On the other hand, that's hardly a bad haul for a newly-promoted team looking to secure survival. Overall, Almeria is in the 13th spot in the standings right now, but only two points ahead of the relegation zone.
Another positive for Almeria is the fact that their injury list is clear at the moment and that they have their full squad at disposal.
Almeria Predicted Lineup:
Martinez – Pozo, Ely, Chumi, Akieme – Robertone, Costa, Melero – Baptistao, Toure, Embarba

Player to Watch: Mouctar Diakhaby
The main reason why Valencia has struggled recently is their defence. The team looked good on offense mostly, but their defensive woes cost them many points this season.
With that in mind, we decided to go with a defender as our player to watch in this match and our choice is Mouctar Diakhaby. The defender from Guinea is sitting right in the middle of Valencia's defense and if he can help his teammates keep Almeria at bay, The Bats can hope for a good result here.
