Almeria vs Athletic Bilbao Preview
Almeria are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have struggled to make an impact so far this season. The home side slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Valencia last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have punched above their weight this season. The Basque giants stunned Atletico Madrid with a 1-0 victory in the Copa del Rey in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.
