How will Real react to the Girona defeat?
Even if the title in La Liga is still mathematically possible for Real Madrid, there should no longer be much hope on the part of the royals. At the latest with the 2:4 at Girona during the week, this matter has been settled. Now they have to play a must-win game in front of their home crowd.
The Real Madrid vs. Almeria odds of the bookmakers speak a clear language. The home side go into this match as clear favorites and should naturally show this role on the pitch. With a bit of anger in the belly, the eleven of coach Ancelotti could even provide good entertainment.
Almeria, on the other hand, finds itself in completely different regions of the table. The guests still need points against relegation. Due to the omens, our Real Madrid vs. Almeria tip is that the home side will take a start-finish victory.
Real Madrid – Statistics & current form
It’s been a curious season for Real Madrid. In the league, the royals often lack the final consistency, so the eleven points behind FC Barcelona can be explained. The team, which is also very well staffed across the board, leaves too much to be desired here. During the week, Ancelotti’s team even lost 4-2 at Girona FC. That was too clear a defeat for the self-image of the royals.
The team should now be correspondingly motivated to show a reaction. Despite the large gap, the league still has significance, especially since the loss of second place is also looming in view of the fact that Atletico Madrid is currently only two points ahead. In addition, the Blancos have even bigger goals, want to win the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
For these competitions, Real Madrid must stay in rhythm, should also see that it does not rotate too much in the league. There have been two defeats from the last four games in La Liga, and the form curve is pointing downwards as a result. Nevertheless, a look at Real Madrid vs Almeria odds shows that the home side are the clear favorites in this duel.
Real Madrid with good home record
The decisive factor will be which face the royals show on the pitch. A home game is on the cards, which is generally good news already. There has only been one home defeat in the league so far, six in total. What’s more, Real Madrid scores more goals at home and concedes fewer. But there have also been four draws that have had a decisive impact on the title fight.
In the last four league games, Real Madrid always scored two goals. The fact that this was not enough to win the game twice shows where the problems currently lie. Because the defense makes too many mistakes, seems too careless in some actions. So this is where Ancelotti needs to pull the lever.
Despite everything, the home side has everything in its own hands as far as the game against Almeria is concerned. And due to the omens, our prediction before the Real Madrid vs. Almeria match is that the hosts will pull off a start-finish victory and already lead at halftime.

Almeria – statistics & current form
Almeria with coach Rubi has some problems this season. The team plays sometimes very decent, but these games are unfortunately scarce. And that’s why the team is still in the relegation fight. Almeria is currently three points clear of the first relegation spot, so there’s still a lot of ground to cover.
However, the team was able to win its last match during the week. The relegation candidate won 2-1 at FC Getafe, which is sure to boost self-confidence before the game against Real Madrid. However, the Real Madrid vs. Almeria betting odds clearly show that the guests are the underdogs in the match. The bookmakers have little confidence in the Rubi team at the Bernabeu.
Nevertheless, the guest will try to play a good role. Compactness should be a decisive element, but unfortunately Almeria has the second weakest defense in the entire league. In the current season, the team has already conceded 53 goals.
Almeria: Only one win away
Adding to that, the Rubi eleven has conceded 32 of those 53 goals away from home. There has also been just one away win in a total of ten defeats away from home. And the offensive balance also looks significantly better in home games than away. The fact that there is one more away game on the schedule could therefore also play a role for the rest of the season.
The biggest problem for the visitors could be that Real Madrid is now on edge. Under pressure, the Almeria defense still makes too many mistakes overall. That’s why our value tip before the Real Madrid vs. Almeria match is that the home side will win with more than a two-goal difference.

Real Madrid – Almeria tip
Real Madrid has been puzzling at some stages this season. The royals have often presented themselves well, but fluff in too many games. Most recently, there was a significant defeat and four goals conceded against Girona, which is why Real is thoroughly soured.
Almeria could now feel the effects of this. However, the guests will want to show a lot of courage at the royals after the 2:1 win against Getafe. Due to the omens, however, our tip before the match Real Madrid vs. Almeria is that the hosts will take a start-finish victory.
