After a week full of action on the last day of the UEFA Champions League group stage, LaLiga Santander returns to its calendar to play its last two matches before the break for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which is just around the corner.
All teams know that the objective is clear at this time, to achieve two victories to go to the month-and-a-half break with some peace of mind. Either to get out of the pit of the table, to climb from the middle of the table upwards or simply to fight for the top of the table.
Many teams need to score a lot of points from now on and even more, after different failures in European competitions such as the Champions League, as Atlético Madrid didn’t qualify, not even to the Europa League.
When:
Saturday, September 17 at 10:15 am ET at the Spotify Camp Nou

Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet FC Barcelona
Barcelona wants and needs to be the team at the top of the standings when the league stops for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The Culés already cut the lead last matchday to just 1 point after Real Madrid’s draw against Girona.
After the elimination from the Champions League group stage and the return to the Europa League, Barça urgently needs to get good results. For the good of the team, the fans and the coach, and Barça idol Xavi Hernández himself.
Barcelona is coming off a late 1-0 win over Valencia thanks to a goal by Robert Lewandowski and a 4-2 away win over Viktoria Plzeñ in the last Champions League matchday.
This will be an emotional match for many, as it will be the last one where we will see Gerard Piqué on the field.
Why Bet Almeria
On the other side is Almeria, a team that is in 13th place on the table. With 13 points, 15 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 5 matches, they managed to win 3 of them, not a bad run for Rubi’s team. At the moment Almeria’s goal is not to be relegated to the second vision, although if they set their mind to it, Almeria can be a tough nut to crack for any team.
Almeria comes from a great victory against Celta Vigo with a score of 3-1.
Final Betting Analysis: FC Barcelona vs. Almeria
This match is fundamental for both teams in their desire to be better positioned in the standings before the break for the World Cup, FC Barcelona wants to be first in the table, while Almeria seeks to be in the upper-middle of the table and away from the relegation zone.
At MyBookie.ag we can see that there is a Moneyline that strongly favors FC Barcelona at -900, while Almeria is at +2100.
If we have to look for any chance that Almeria may have, the eyes should go to Barça’s defense. Yes, they are (by far) the best defense in the league, but the history was very different in the Champions League, where they just come from receiving 2 goals from the worst team in the competition. Either way, our pick for this match is a 4-0 win for FC Barcelona.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline FC Barcelona. If you put $100 on FC Barcelona at -900, you’ll be looking at an $11.11 win with a total payout of $111.11.
