Celta vs Almeria prediction and betting tips on March 1, 2024
Game Prediction
The finalist of the Copa del Rey will be determined only on Thursday at midnight. At the same time, there traditionally begins the round in the Primera – there will be a meeting scheduled for Friday. This time, Celta will struggle with Almeria at the bottom of the table. What will Benitez’s wards do against the main outsider? The website contains a prediction for this match on March 1, 2024.
Celta came to life in winter, but it shouldn’t be overestimated even now
“The Galicians”, being although not a strong club, were quite ambitious. And they clearly did not think that they would have to fight for survival in the Primera in the summer, when the management invited Benitez. And Rafa himself returned to his homeland with the intention of reviving his career after a couple of high-profile failures. Still, the only surprise was that the specialist was not fired in the autumn, when practically nothing was working at all. Even now, having added in the game, the team from Vigo has terrible statistics, and it’s good that three of the opponents are even worse. One of these outsiders will be met now. At the same time, they didn’t get the best out of the battle against Cadiz – 2-2.
Almeria may rewrite the history of Spanish football, but it is unlikely to be happy about it
“The Red and Whites” managed to rise to the top division of the country in 2022, after a long pause. Even Rubi took a couple of years to do this, but then the specialist and his wards were able to win an incredibly difficult and stubborn fight for survival in the Primera... After which his contract was not renewed. This decision of the owner, Al-Sheikh, seemed to be fatal: the players forgot how to win without this mentor. It happened in the literal sense, because they managed to take only the draws in La Liga until the end of winter. It is reasonable to mention a 0-0 result in the home confrontation with Athletic in February, and then the team scored a goal in the away game against Granada. Finally, they took points from Atlético in the previous round – the match with the Madrid giants brought a 2-2 draw.
