It’s been all too rare in recent games where Albacete have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Albacete have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 7 goals along the way. Let’s find out if that trend will end up being continued on here.

Deportivo de La Coruña

📰 Team News: Albacete

In all likelihood, Queso Mecánico may well employ a 4-4-2 formation for this game, handing starts to Cristian Rivero, Álvaro Rodríguez, Jon García, Juan Antonio Ros, Juan María Alcedo, Alejandro Meléndez, Riki Rodríguez, Agus Medina, Fidel, Alberto Quiles and Juanma.

🗞️ Team News: Deportivo de La Coruña

We reckon that Branquiazuis seem likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation with a starting lineup of Helton Leite, Ximo Navarro, Pablo Vázquez, Dani Barcia, Rafael Obrador, Yeremay Hernández, Diego Villares, Jose Angel Jurado, David Mella, Ivan Barbero and Lucas Pérez.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Deportivo de La Coruña have the firepower to find the net against this Albacete team, but that realistically won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 win for Albacete when all is said and done. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
