The Clash of Titans: UD Almeria vs. Levante UD

The stage is set. UD Almeria, the current leaders of LaLiga 2, are ready to face Levante UD, a team on a hot streak. Almeria's recent form has been solid, with a strong home record of 7 wins, 7 draws, and just 1 loss. But Levante UD is no ordinary opponent. They come into this match with a five-game winning streak and haven't tasted defeat in their last seven matches.

Almeria's Fortress

Almeria's home ground has been a fortress this season. They've scored in 14 of their 15 home matches, with Luis Javier Suarez leading the charge with 21 goals. However, they will miss the services of Gui Guedes, Baba, and Rachad due to injuries. The return of Luis Suarez from suspension is a boost, but the absence of key players could be a chink in their armor.

Levante's Momentum

Levante UD is riding high on confidence. Their recent 3-1 victory over Granada showcased their attacking prowess, with Jose Luis Morales being a key figure. Levante's away form is impressive, having not lost in their last seven away games. The departure of Andres Garcia to Aston Villa might have been a blow, but the team has adapted well, with Carlos Alvarez stepping up as the main assister.

The Historical Edge

History favors Levante UD. In their last 24 meetings, Levante has emerged victorious 13 times compared to Almeria's 5. The most common result when these two meet is a 2-2 draw, but Levante's current form suggests they might edge this encounter. Almeria hasn't beaten Levante at home since 2008, and with Levante's current momentum, they seem poised to continue their dominance.

Prediction

Expect a thrilling encounter with goals from both sides. Levante UD's attacking form and Almeria's strong home record suggest a high-scoring affair. However, Levante's recent form and historical edge give them the upper hand. Levante UD to win, with both teams finding the net.
