Getafe and Almeria go head-to-head in round 31 of La Liga on Wednesday (April 26). Both sides are in a heated scrap at the bottom end of the standings, so expect a fierce battle at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
The hosts failed to pull clear of the danger zone, as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Mallorca at the Estadi de Son Moix at the weekend. Quique Sanchez Flores’ men have failed to win their last four outings, picking up two points from a possible 12 since the start of April. Getafe are 16th in La Liga , one point above Almeria, who are level on 30 points with Valencia in the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Almeria failed to find their feet in their last game, as they were beaten 2-1 by Athletic Club at the Estadio del Mediterraneo at the weekend. The Rojiblancos have now failed to win six of their last seven games, losing four, since the start of March.
While Almeria will look to return to winning ways, they have struggled away from home, where they’re yet to win this season.
