The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Almeria lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad side in an important encounter at the Estadio Mediterraneo on Saturday.
Almeria vs Real Sociedad Preview
Almeria are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have struggled to impose themselves on the top flight this season. The home side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Deportivo Alaves last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. La Real eased past Benfica by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
