Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap – Draw (Almería +1 goal) – 5.00
Probably one of the most important games of the season for both teams in the fight for promotion. We think that neither will want to risk more than necessary, especially Almeria, who cannot count on Umar Sadiq, their best player and probably the best player in the league, and, his absence has been quite noticeable in the previous matches, as they drew and lost in the two previous matches without him.
If it is true that Almeria have lost their main offensive weapon, Umar Sadiq, the truth is that they make up for it by being the best defence in the championship by far. That is why we think that in case of a draw, it will be goalless.
Almeria’s last two matches have been marked by a remarkable attacking weakness, with only one goal between the two games, but beyond the number of goals scored, they have hardly been able to generate clear chances of danger. Eibar, meanwhile, have only scored four goals in their last five away games, which is why we think this match could go under 1.5 total goals, which has a odds of 3.00 at William Hill.
Almeria have kept a good defence in their last five home games, having conceded just two goals in those games, and so we think they are capable of keeping a clean sheet on this occasion too, which has an odds of 2.30 at William Hill.
We think that one thing that is almost certain is that the match will be very well organised defensively by both teams, so we see little chance of this match having more than two goals, as the recent performances of both teams do not show it either. This bet has a odds of 1.67 at William Hill.
Having set 0-0 as the final score for this match, a bet in accordance with this is that the match will end in a draw in the first half and in a draw in the second half as well. This bet has odds of 4.50 at William Hill.
Almeria have some important absentees for this match, apart from the already mentioned Umar Sadiq, who is with the Nigerian national team in the AFCON, Almeria will also be without Giorgi Makaridze, José Carlos Lazo, Daniel Carriço, Juan Villar, and Dyego Soussa.

Highlighted Player
Stoichkov
The Spanish winger has undoubtedly been Eibar’s best player this season and one of the best in the competition, his great eye for goal is accompanied by a magnificent shot, especially from long distances, so he could be an important player if it is impossible for Eibar to break into Almeria’s penalty area. Stoichkov has scored 11 goals so far.
