The hosts have lost just two of their 13 games against Almería in La Liga (W5 D6), both of which were away from home, and the last one being in February 2014 (2-0).
Diego SImeone's troops have been on a good run of form since March as they are the team with the most goals scored (13) and the highest shot conversion rate (17.8%) in La Liga, while only Barcelona (one) have conceded fewer goals than them during this period (two).
They are just two points behind second-placed Real Madrid and if Los Blancos slip against Cadiz they can leapfrog their eternal rivals in the league table.
Meanwhile, Almeria are playing with fire as they are three points off the relegation zone and are desperate for points to allow them some breathing space. They have failed to win in their last 21 visits to Madrid in La Liga (D5 L16) and are on their longest losing run in those games (L8) – indeed, they have failed to score in the most recent six.
