Valencia sacked Miroslav Djukic after the lost they suffered from Atletico Madrid and on the place of team manager put Nico Estevez.

In the last four league games, after the defeat in the El Classico, Real Madrid have scored a whopping 20 goals and won all the matches.

The hosts have already qualified for the next round and this game doesn’t mean much for them.

This match deserves a closer attention, for two reasons. First, Real Madrid’s away performances of this season have been scratchy. Second, Almeria has been playing tenacious football over the last few weeks.
