Real Madrid vs Almería: Lineups and LIVE updates
Real Madrid will hope to bounce back from their humbling 4-2 loss against Girona.
Real Madrid's woes in La Liga in recent months continued when they travelled away to Girona earlier this week as they lost 4-2 with Taty Castellanos scoring all four goals to sum up the defending champions' domestic season.
However, they return to the Santiago Bernabéu tonight as they welcome Almería. The visitors defeated Getafe in mid-week to climb to 15th spot in the table, three ahead of 18th-placed Valencia. Rubi's side will need another positive result in order to keep their hopes of survival alive.
On the contrary, Carlo Ancelotti's side have lost three of their last six league fixtures, with those losses coming against league leaders Barcelona, Villarreal, and more recently against Girona. Those losses have all but handed the La Liga trophy back to their Catalan rivals Barca, who have been dodgy themselves in recent weeks.
