Atletico Madrid vs Almeria Betting Tips: AH1 -1.5

The Colchoners head into Sunday's clash with a bitter taste in their mouths, having left Estadi de Montjuic, Barcelona's temporary home, last week with bowed heads after a narrow 0-1 defeat inflicted by none other than their own player, Joao Felix, currently on loan at Blaugrana.

Undoubtedly, that setback, particularly the way in which the Portuguese striker celebrated the winning goal, hit Diego Simeone hard, especially considering that their relationship wasn't at its best during Joao Felix's time wearing the Atletico jersey.

All in all, the Madrid-based club remains seated in the UEFA Champions League spots with 31 collected points, trailing seven steps behind the equally scored Real and Girona, who share the top of LaLiga with a game in hand, and it's undeniable that "El Cholo" will be seeking an urgent response from his chosen ones.

In fact, Sunday brings a magnificent opportunity for Atletico and Simeone to sober up from last week's slap in the face, as the Wanda Metropolitano - one of the few stadiums in Europe maintaining a 100% home victory rate - welcomes the current top candidate for relegation, Almeria.

To be more precise, their last loss on home turf occurred in early January at the hands of last week's executioners, Barcelona, and since then, the Colchoneros have emerged victorious in each of their 16 home fixtures, leaving us with little to suggest anything could halt their phenomenal winning streak against the basement-dwelling opposition.

The only side yet to savor the sweetness of victory in the Spanish top-flight this season, Almeria confirmed midweek that they are "ripe" for a move to Segunda Division after Barbastro, competing in the fourth tier, handed them a 0-1 defeat, eliminating them from this year's Copa del Rey.

Making matters problematic, the Rojiblancos' defensive line is leaking like a sieve, ranking as the most porous in the elite division, having been breached 37 times to this point. When we add that they've fallen by at least a two-goal margin in three of the last four head-to-head matches in Madrid against Atletico, there's a clear reason why we don't doubt a routine drubbing for the home team.
