It is not often you see one team struggle so badly at the foot of the table but could we see a shock as we make our predictions ahead of this match?
The game between Almeria and Atletico Madrid will take place on the 24th of February at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos.
The hosts begin the weekend bottom of the table on 8 points while the visitors are in 4th place on 51 points.
Almeria come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at Granada in La Liga last weekend.
It was Almeria who opened the scoring after only 9 minutes and they held on a for a long time in search for their first league win of the season.
However, Granada scored the equaliser in the 75th minute to take a point.
The draw at Granada means Almeria have failed to win any of their 15 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
They have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, all of which have been played in La Liga. The defeats came against Real Madrid and Valencia away plus Alaves at home.
The stats show Almeria have won just 1 of their last 30 league games but they are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 La Liga matches on home soil.
Almeria have been struggling in attack and have failed to score a goal in each of their last 5 home league fixtures.
Atletico Madrid make the trip to the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos having lost the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie 1-0 at Inter Milan on Wednesday night.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 79th minute and Atletico Madrid will be disappointed they did not hold out for the draw.
The defeat at Inter Milan means Atletico Madrid have recorded only 1 win from their 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been additional defeats against Sevilla away in La Liga and Athletic Bilbao at home in the Copa del Rey.
Atletico Madrid picked up a good point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Real Madrid in La Liga and thumped Las Palmas 5-0 at home.
Trends show Atletico Madrid are undefeated in 5 of their 6 most recent La Liga matches. However, they have recorded only 1 win from their last 7 away trips in the league.
Team news: Almeria are without injured defender Cesar Montes. They also have doubts over the fitness of Iddrisu Baba, Luis Suarez, and Ibrahima Koné.
Atletico Madrid travel without Antoine Griezmann, Cesar Azpilicueta, Thomas Lemar, and Vitolo due to injury. José Giménez is a doubt due to a muscle problem.
It is difficult to predict anything other than an Atletico Madrid win purely based on the poor form of Almeira this season. Almeria have yet to win a league game and have been struggling to score in recent home matches. We expect Atletico Madrid to keep a clean sheet on their way to victory.
