Round 15 of Liga BBVA fixtures will kick off with UD Almería hosting Real Madrid in the Andalusian outfit’s first match since parting company with Francisco Rodríguez. It will be a tough trip for Carlo Ancelotti just before his side travels to the FIFA Club World Cup.
Team news
Both sides go into the game in different situations. While Madrid have no suspensions or injuries to worry about, Real Madrid go to the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos without the injured trio of James Rodríguez, Sami Khedira and Luka Modrić, while Sergio Ramos is absent due to suspension.

"We have to go into the game as if Miguel Rivera had always been our manager", said skipper Miguel Corona in the pre-match press conference. Ancelotti also spoke about Almería, saying: "They’ve changed coach, and the players will have more responsibility. It will be an intense game".
