The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Almeria lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Real Madrid vs Almeria Preview
Almeria are currently in 15th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side edged Getafe to an important 2-1 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. Los Blancos slumped to a shock 4-2 defeat at the hands of Girona in their previous game and will look to bounce back this weekend.

- Real Madrid have an excellent recent record against Almeria and have won 10 out of the last 13 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Almeria's paltry one victory.

Real Madrid vs Almeria Prediction
Real Madrid have an impressive squad at their disposal but have not justified their potential on the domestic front. Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior can be lethal on their day and will need to step up this weekend.
Almeria have a poor record at the Santiago Bernabeu and will need to play out of their skins in this fixture. Real Madrid are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
