Here are the latest updates for the Almeria vs Barcelona match on May 16, 2024: Barcelona are looking to take a big step towards securing second place in La Liga when they travel to face bottom club Almeria tonight.
With Girona losing to Villarreal earlier this week, a Barcelona win would all but guarantee them finishing runners-up. Almeria have already been relegated and are playing for pride in their farewell to La Liga this season.
They gave Barcelona a scare in their previous meeting, taking a 2-1 lead before Sergi Roberto’s late brace rescued a win for the Catalans. Barcelona will be without the suspended Ilkay Gundogan, while Gavi, Frenkie de Jong and Alejandro Balde are injured. Ronald Araujo is expected to return to the starting XI.
Almeria will be missing Largie Ramazani through suspension, while Aleksandar Radovanovic and Iddrisu Baba are injured. The match kicks off at 21:30 CET in Spain, 20:00 GMT in the UK and Ireland, and 15:30 ET in the USA. It will be broadcast on Viaplay Sports 2, Viaplay UK and LaLiga TV in the UK and Ireland, and on ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes in the USA.
