Week 1 features a match on Sunday Aug 14th, where Almería hosts Real Madrid in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched La Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 28 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. Almería has not played yet this season, while in their last match, Real Madrid recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Liverpool. Vinícius Júnior struck first for Real Madrid in the 59th minute on a feed from Federico Valverde, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Liverpool couldn’t muster any offence and Real Madrid ran away with the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Real Madrid should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season.
Real Madrid is glad to have Vinícius Júnior in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals. Almería hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last five matches are Inigo Eguaras Alvarez and Lucas Gaston Robertone, and they each have 1 goal.
