Heads Up: Almeria's La Liga clash with Getafe is worth watching today

"Both teams have scored in each of Getafe's last seven away matches"

Back 'Yes' in Both Teams to Score? @ 2.111/10 in Almeria v Getafe

Jim and Quique could serve up something special in Spain on Sunday afternoon

Almeria v Getafe
Sunday 16:00

Nantes 1 Lille 1 in France yesterday.

Two managers who are new to their jobs meet in southern Spain this afternoon.

Juan Ignacio Martinez - Jim to his English friends - has been in charge of Almeria for five La Liga games to date. He opened with a couple of wins, but has subsequently lost three tough matches. Today's clash with Getafe is his first with a team from outside the league's top 10.

Quique Flores has overseen just three Getafe outings in La Liga. His first - a 1-2 defeat at Eibar - was El Geta's seventh consecutive away match in which both teams had scored.

He's followed up with a couple of home games: a 0-3 defeat to Real Madrid, then a 2-1 success over Celta Vigo.

A goal, at least, should come for him at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos, where the hosts have managed just one clean sheet in 16 attempts since the latter half of last season.

Eleven of those matches delivered goals at both ends and that's what we're hoping to see again today.

May the best man win.
