Benfica hit nicely to head into Friday with confidence to build on, and hopefully expand the budget for the weekend to come. I had already peeked at Friday yesterday actually, and have decided to lock in my only play.
Almeria - Osasuna: Pick: Almeria @ 2.40 (2u)
3 points is the only option for both these teams if they want to survive as both stand on 30p a piece, but digging deeper into the action, Almeria have started to do their job at home with some good results against quality opponents such as Malaga, Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad and Valencia, where they have either won or drawn to earn crucial points at home. Noticeably, Almeria are playing very well at home and actually play really entertaining games in these "have to win" games - So this might be a good one to consider the "over" for those who likes to bet on total goals
I am of another opinion though, I certainly think Almeria has proven for the last 2 weeks or 3, that they are playing their hearts out to stay in the league. At home, this is a must thing which they have done with brilliance and it is hard to expect anything different this time when one of the weakest road teams come to visit without some players who are missing due to injury, whereof the creative midfielder De Las Cuevas will not participate.
Osasuna are a miserable 3-3-10 on the road, with only 9 goals scored in 16 away games. It makes me wonder where the offense will come from? Even if this game means as much to Osasuna as it does for Almeria, I am not willing to back Osasuna in this match-up, they have had massive troubles to score and they have just been leaking goals each game, 1-0, 3-0, 7-0 in their last 3 road games.
No matter if these are bottom sides in Spain, I choose not to overlook the brilliant performances of Almeria at home where they have stolen points from the top 5-6 teams lately, and Osasuna should be their next victim. 2 units on Almeria in order for them to get a small breather in the survival battle
Best of luck!

Regarding Almeria, the only thing that bugs me is that they are a bottom team and to give such a team my 'trust' is something I normally never would do, but lately they have found a consistency in their game which I like. And about that Atalanta bet, I will give Saturday/Sunday's menu a closer look during the day, but 1.80 for Atalanta sure looks like a steal, which also makes me a little worried though.. With regards to how the teams are playing, I was surprised to see Atalanta more than 1.65 tbh. Seems like that will be a major public play. 
Best of luck!
