Match Preview
Almeria is already mapping out strategies for next season’s bid for promotion after their drop to a lower division was confirmed following a 3-1 defeat to Getafe last month. Despite their relegation woes, Pepe Mel’s squad displayed fighting spirit in their recent clash against Real Betis, where Leo Baptistao and Luka Romero found the net in a close 3-2 loss. However, their dismal defensive record, conceding 70 league goals this season, stands out as a major factor in their downfall.
Additionally, their poor home form at the Power Horse Stadium, with eight draws and nine defeats in 17 home league games, adds to their challenges. Although they haven’t secured a home league victory, they draw confidence from their narrow 1-0 win over Barcelona in last season’s home encounter.

On the other hand, despite losing the La Liga title to Real Madrid, Barcelona aims for a runner-up finish to secure a spot in next season’s Spanish Super Cup. Under Xavi’s guidance, they climbed back into second place with a 2-0 win against Real Sociedad, propelled by Lamine Yamal’s goal and a late Raphinha penalty. With just three games remaining and a one-point lead over Girona, Barcelona eyes extending the gap to four points after their Catalan rivals stumbled to a 1-0 defeat against Villarreal. Xavi sees Thursday’s match against Almeria as an opportunity to secure their 10th away league win of the season, considering their historical dominance over Almeria, winning eight of their last nine La Liga meetings, including a 3-2 victory in the reverse fixture.
