After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Valencia, Barcelona will look to return to winning ways in La Liga when they take on Almeria on Matchday 18.
The Catalan outfit are seven points behind league leaders Real Madrid, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Robert Lewandowski and Co.
Ferran Torres is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Inigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only five points on their account.
Anyhow, David faces Goliath at Estadio Olimpico and anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise.
All Marko Milovanovic, Ibrahima Kone, Luis Suarez, and Martin Svidersky are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away team, while Iddrisu Baba is pushing for a start following his fine performance in a goalless draw with Mallorca.
This match will be played on 20/12/2023 at 19:00
Prediction: 3-1
Recommended Pick: Barcelona to win.
