Defeats form youth. After their defeat at Old Trafford (2-1), FC Barcelona must get up on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. against Almeria in La Liga. Especially since Real Madrid’s draw against Atlético de Madrid (1-1) could allow Xavi’s men to be 10 points ahead of the Merengues in the standings in the event of a victory.
Almeria in small form
The Andalusians remain on three consecutive defeats in La Liga, against Rayo, Betis and Girona. The neighbor of Barça also crushed this team (6-2) during the last day. But at home, Almeria managed to get a point against Atlético de Madrid recently.
While the Blaugrana are playing the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid on Thursday evening (9 p.m.), this match should serve to turn the squad around. Even if Xavi will do everything possible to lead his team to victory on Sunday evening in order to strike a blow in La Liga.
Barça on a good series
If he wins at Power Horse Stadium, the FC Barcelona will chain an 8th consecutive victory in La Liga. With only 7 goals conceded (best defense in Europe and in the history of La Liga), the Catalans must regain their offensive efficiency despite the absence of Pedri and D’Ousmane Dembelewounded in the thigh.
On the other hand, Gavi will be back after receiving a one-match suspension in the Europa League.
With only one victory in the last eight days, Rubi’s men have suffered since the return of the World Cup. Curiously, 19 of the 22 points won this season have come at home. It’s better than Atlético de Madrid or Real Sociedad on their own lawn (18 points obtained).
Relegated, the Andalusians can count on the support of their supporters in a sold-out stadium.
