The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Almeria lock horns with Xavi's Barcelona outfit in an important clash at the Camp Nou on Saturday.
Barcelona vs Almeria Preview
Almeria are currently in 13th place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side stunned Celta Vigo with a 3-1 victory last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
