Valencia will host Almería at the Mestalla Stadium, aiming to get back to winning ways in the competition on Saturday at 8:00 am (ET).
Valencia
In the last round, Valencia saw their streak of 4 consecutive victories come to an end when they were defeated 2-0 away from home by Atlético de Madrid.
Despite the loss, the team remains alive in the race for a spot in European competitions next season, which would be a significant achievement after years without participating in such competitions. In the standings, they currently occupy the 8th position, 4 points away from the Conference League zone. At home, the team boasts the best defense in the league with a positive goal difference of 8 and 6 victories in 10 games.
For this game, Valencia will be without Canos, André Almeida, and Ozkacar. Defender Gabriel Paulista bid farewell to the team to join Atlético de Madrid.

As for the visitors, there is not much to say. They continue at the bottom of the league with the worst away record, suffering 10 defeats in 11 games with no victories, along with the poorest defense. It seems challenging for Almería to avoid relegation.
Regarding the squad, Luis Suárez continues to be absent from the team, while Kone is doubtful.
