📋 Team News: Albacete

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Albacete manager Rubén Albés to be concerned about from a near full-strength group. Diegui (surgery) won’t play.

In all likelihood, Queso Mecánico will probably use a 4-4-2 system, handing starts to Tomas Vaclik, Carlos Isaac, Juan Antonio Ros, A. Cristian Glauder, Julio Alonso, Juanma, Agus Medina, Lander Olaetxea, Manuel Fuster, Alberto Quiles and Fidel.

📋 Team News: Eibar

In an otherwise full-strength squad, there is just a single fitness issue for the Eibar gaffer Joseba Etxeberria to be concerned about. Konrad de la Fuente (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

We reckon that Armeros could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Luca Zidane, Á. T. Sacristán, Juan Berrocal, A. Zabala Arbilla, Cristian Gutiérrez, Peru Nolaskoain, Matheus Pereira, Ager Aketxe, Mario Soriano, Stoichkov and Jon Bautista.

🔮 Prediction

We are of the inclination to think that Eibar and Albacete should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. We therefore see a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90.
