Almeria take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 17 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, January 15th at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos (Almería).
Almeria is quite combat-ready for a newly-promoted side. The "Red-Whites" began to struggle for a return to the elite after this original project was bought out by Turki al-Sheikh. It didn't happen as quickly as the Middle Eastern millionaire, who learned a lot from his mistakes, would have liked. But Ruby, albeit from the 2nd attempt, was able to get a pass to La Liga - but directly, without a playoff sieve. And already there, even having sold his striker Sadiq Umar at the end of the summer, the rookie has already managed to win 5 matches out of 16, and to gain 17 points. After a pause, there was a chance to win against Cadiz, but a late goal from Lucas Perez prevented it. And then it was 0-2, but with one of the leaders, Real Sociedad.

Atletico again slipped into a fight only for a place in the top quartet of LaLiga. "Colchoneros" after the championship-2021 somehow passed. Last season they had an unsuccessful 1st round, but then Diego Simeone was able to improve the game of his wards. Now there has not been such a sharp decline (although how to say - the Spaniards failed in the Champions League, finishing 4th in their quartet), but there are too many losses. Even in winter, the wards of “El Cholo” started with confident, 2 goals, victories, but over simple opponents - in the cup with obvious underdogs (Arenteiro and Oviedo), in La Liga with hopeless Elche. When Barcelona arrived in Madrid on Sunday, Bluagrana managed to win, albeit minimally, 1-0
Atletico won both recent head-to-head matches. But they fell right on the 2014/2015 season, when Almeria had previously played in the Example. Atletico are out of the top 4 again and will come for the maximum. It is unlikely that Almeria wants and can prevent this. We recommend to bet on the victory of visitors from Madrid.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
