Team News: Córdoba CF
Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Córdoba CF manager Iván Ania to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Alberto del Moral (Hamstring injury) is out of contention.
It’s our opinion that Los Califas look set to opt for a 4-3-3 formation with Carlos Marin, Carlos Albarran, Xavi Sintes, Marvel, Carlos Isaac, Pedro Ortiz, Álex Sala, Jon Magunazelaia, Cristian Carracedo, Nikolay Obolskiy and Jacobo Gonzalez.
📰
Team News: Albacete
Out of a mainly available group, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Albacete boss Alberto González to be concerned with. Javi Moreno (Muscle injury) won’t be playing here.
From our viewpoint, Queso Mecánico seem most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation, starting the game with Raúl Lizoain, Nabil Touaizi, Pepe Sánchez, Lalo Aguilar, Agus Medina, Pablo Sáenz, Alejandro Meléndez, Javi Villar, Jon Morcillo, Christian Kofane and Javier Martón.

Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Córdoba CF can and should be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
At the other end, Albacete will not find it easy to score a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.
We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 winning margin for Córdoba CF at the end of this one.
