Jorge Sampaoli's appointment has been key to Sevilla's good fortunes this season and they finally look like a big six team. The next challenge for Sevilla is a home game against a relegation-threatened Almeria team. I'm tipping this game to go in favor of the Andalusians with a win. Here's why you should bet on Sevilla to win;
1 Sevilla is in very good form at the moment and they have the better momentum than Almeria and I don't see them dropping points here. Sevilla reached the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League and they already won the first leg against Fenerbahce. This is a huge boost for them after their heavy defeat away to Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano. Sevilla is above the relegation zone for now but they have to be careful of dropping points so they do not get into trouble in the next few weeks and this is a very good game for them as Almeria is directly below them. Almeria has lost four of their last five matches in the Spanish league and this is one of the worst runs for a team in the top flight. This game is an easy fixture for Sevilla and I expect them to get the job done.
2 Almeria has the worst away record in the league and I think they're definitely losing at a ground as difficult as the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Almeria has not won a game away from home this season and they have lost eight times in eleven away matches in the Spanish La Liga. Even against teams without quality, Almeria always fumbles away from home. Sevilla won their last game at home against a tougher team and I expect them to get another comfortable win when they host Almeria on Sunday.
Almeria has been in trouble for weeks and they do not look like retaining their place in the top flight this season. Most of their woes have come on away trips where they remain winless this term. Sevilla has done well under Jorge Sampaoli and I'm tipping them to get a comfortable home win.
