By Euan Burns
Real Madrid must have expected Girona to be out of their hair by now, but Carlo Ancelotti's side head into Sunday's clash against Almeria in second place.
The La Liga table looks fascinating as we get into the second half of the season and Madrid will climb above Girona into first with a win here in their game in hand. The gap is just one point and they are big favourites here, even factoring in the Copa del Rey defeat against Atletico Madrid on Thursday night.
Almeria sit rock bottom of La Liga and have been truly awful this season, failing to win a single game and amassing just six points. With Los Blancos hungry to lay down a marker with a big win, it would be incredible if they got anything from their trip to the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid vs Almeria score prediction
Madrid suffered just their second defeat in all competitions this season in the Copa del Rey exit to Atletico and need to return to their ruthless best if they are to go on and secure the La Liga title.
This is a perfect opportunity for Los Blancos to bounce back and restore the positive mood around the club with a victory filled with goals. It should be an easy win for Ancelotti's side and anything else would be cause for concern.
Prediction: Real Madrid 4-0 Almeria
