The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Almeria lock horns with Valencia in an important encounter at the Estadio Mediterraneo on Sunday.
Almeria vs Valencia Preview
Valencia are currently in 17th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. Los Che were held to a 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Almeria, on the other hand, are in 19th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled this season. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo last week and have a point to prove in this fixture.
