Almeria vs Elche Prediction and Betting Tips | May 2nd 2023

Almeria will host Elche at the Estadio del Mediterraneo on Tuesday in another round of La Liga football.

The home side have had their struggles this season and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone with just six games left to play. They were beaten 4-2 by defending champions Real Madrid on Saturday, conceding all four goals before the 48th-minute mark.

Almeria sit 16th in the league table with 33 points from 32 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this week.

Elche have endured a more difficult campaign than their opponents and now sit deep in the relegation zone, rapidly running out of time to save themselves. However, they returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion last time out as they thrashed 10-man Rayo Vallecano 4-0 at the Estadio Martinez Valero on Saturday.

The visitors sit rock-bottom in the La Liga standings with just 16 points picked up so far. They will now be looking to build on their latest result when they play on Tuesday.
