Real Madrid aim to keep perfect record against Almeria

Soccer Betting Lines

09/14/2007 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champions Real Madrid are the only team in Spain to take a perfect 2-0 record into this weekend, and they will try to extend that mark to three straight against promoted club Almeria on Saturday at the Bernabeu.

A 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid on the season's opening day was followed by a 5-0 thrashing of quality side Villarreal last time out. With the runners-up in the second division from last season coming to town, Real should have no problem adding to their win total, but Almeria have also enjoyed a positive start to its campaign.

In just its third season ever in Spain's top flight, Almeria opened the season with a resounding 3-0 win at Deportivo, before dropping a close 2-1 contest on home soil against Valencia.

The visitors will be without top striker Alvaro Negredo, who signed from Real Madrid over the summer but has a clause in his contract that prevents him from playing at Bernabeu.

Negredo has scored a goal in both games this season, and his absence will limit the Almeria attack, especially going up against a strong defensive unit like the one that Real boasts.

Despite having a superior team, Madrid must guard against a letdown, which is something that the club struggled with last season, when promoted clubs Recreativo and Levante both left the Bernabeu with wins.

Midfielder Wesley Sneijder is unlikely to play on Saturday after picking up an ankle injury this past week while playing for the Netherlands. Fellow Dutchman Arjen Robben, who signed from Chelsea in August, is close to making his debut with Real, but is not likely to earn a start.

In other action on Saturday, Valencia hosts a Valladolid side that has taken four points from its first two games, and winless clubs Real Zaragoza and Athletic Bilbao get together at Estadio San Mames.

On Sunday, Real Betis and Deportivo, who have combined for three draws in four games, meet up at Estadio Riazor, Getafe and Espanyol both go looking for their first win against each other, Villarreal tries to rebound from a five- goal beating at the hands of Real Madrid when they take on Mallorca and unbeaten Real Murcia hosts Atletico Madrid. Levante is coming off of a 0-0 draw with Murcia and visits Racing, Sevilla won its lone contest in La Liga play this season, a 4-1 triumph over Getafe, and hosts Recreativo while Barcelona, who got its first win against Athletic Bilbao last time out, travels to Osasuna.
