Almería in need of a win as Real Sociedad visit Juegos del Mediterráneo

Almería, under the management of Gaizka Garitano, have suffered four defeats in their last four matches, placing them in the bottom half of the table and in a relegation battle. Currently, they have not won any matches, lost nine games, and drawn three duels, resulting in their twentieth place position with only three points.

If Almería can secure a victory, they will add six points to their current tally.

Real Sociedad enters this match with a total of 19 points.

Time will tell, whether Real’s recent run of poor form is about to change. However, Imanol Alguacil will be keen to turn his season around with this game, following the recent defeat to Barcelona, which followed a disappointing 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Also, Real keep finding ways to win, having secured five victories in their last nine games is astonishing this season. With 19 points, they currently sit seventh in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 5 wins, 3 losses, and 4 draws having won five meetings, drawn four fixtures, and lost three matches.

Real will travel to Almería with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with one win, two darts, and two defeats.

A win in this fixture would take Real Sociedad’s points from 19 to 22, so far this season.

Good Attacking Performance
Real will be pleased to have a good goal-scoring record so far this season (20). This is largely down to the efforts of their standout attackers – Mikel (6), Takefusa (5), and Ander (3). Real have conceded 15 goals.
