Sevilla FC are looking to earn their third straight win, and fourth unbeaten run, when they face UD Almeria for their La Liga match. Coming into this game, these two teams are on a mission, but it seems like the latter needs to win this more. Sevilla are currently doing well in their campaign, and have continuously improve their campaign in La Liga. In fact, Sevilla are now looking to earn their third-straight win, and continue their unbeaten run here. Meanwhile, it is the other way around for Almeria, as they are looking to claim their first-ever victory this season. Almeria have yet to taste a single win this season, and are hopeful to finally get that win through this match. The meeting between these two teams is on March 12, 2024, at 4:00 AM (GMT+8).
Sevilla FC
Sevilla, a Spanish football club, finished 12th in the top flight last season, their lowest final position in La Liga since 1999-2000. They currently sit in 14th place in the league table, with 27 points from 27 matches. However, they are eight points clear of the relegation zone. The team has made a significant improvement in recent months, winning three, drawing one, and losing one of their last five league matches. Sevilla has also managed to score 10 points from 13 matches on their travels this season, with only two wins. Their last two away games have shown improvement, drawing 0-0 with Valencia and losing 1-0 to Real Madrid. With 15 points from Real Betis, Sevilla is unlikely to play European football next season. They are currently in 14th place in the league table and have failed to meet expectations over the past year.
Sevilla faces a lengthy injury list with Juanlu Sanchez, Jesus Navas, Joan Jordan, Erik Lamela, Lucien Agoume, Marcao, and Dodi Lukebakio among others. Marcos Acuna, Mariano Diaz, and Nemanja Gudelj are doubts, potentially causing up to 10 absentees. Yossif En-Nesyri and Isaac Romero are expected to play in the final third.
UD Almeria
Almeria will play Segunda Division football next season unless something extraordinary happens. La Union has a disappointing campaign with zero wins, nine draws, and 18 defeats from 27 matches, leaving them at the bottom of the table with 11 games left. Gaizka Garitano’s team is 15 points behind 17th-placed Celta Vigo, and they will enter the match after a 1-0 defeat to Rafael Benitez’s team. Almeria has drawn three consecutive games against Athletic Bilbao, Granada, and Atletico Madrid, and will bring the worst home record in the division into this match. UDA suffered a 5-1 defeat to Sevilla earlier this season, but recorded a 2-1 victory in the corresponding fixture during the 2022-23 campaign. Almeria is rooted at the bottom of the La Liga standings and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Bruno Langa, Leo Baptistao, Luis Suarez, and Ibrahima Kone are all out for Almeria due to red cards, muscular problems, and doubts. Garitano may not make many changes, but Langa’s absence will allow Alex Pozo to play left-back.
