Albacete

DDDWWL

Albacete will be hoping for a better result following a 2-1 La Liga 2 loss in their previous game against Málaga.

In that match, Albacete had 56% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for Albacete was José Carlos Lazo (11'). For their opponents, Malaga got 18 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Dioni (14') and Antonio Cordero (94') scored for Málaga.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Albacete have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Albacete have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 8 goals along the way. With no two games being the same, we must now wait to see whether such a trend might be maintained here in this game.

Their prior results show that Albacete:

• are unbeaten in the league by Eibar in their previous 7 matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 7 league matches at home.

Eibar

WDLWDD

In their last fixture, Eibar drew 2-2 in the La Liga 2 tie with Levante.

In that game, Eibar had 66% possession and 28 attempts on goal with 9 on target. The only player to score for Eibar was Antonio Puertas (47', 92'). At the other end, Levante UD got 8 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Roger Brugué (4') and Iván Romero (79') scored for Levante.

Throughout their six latest matches, Joseba Etxeberria's Eibar have seen their goal attempts be successful 9 times thus yielding them a goals scored per game average of 1.5.

Coming into this contest, Eibar haven’t won away from home in the past 4 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

ℹ️ Team News: Eibar

Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Eibar gaffer Joseba Etxeberria to be concerned with. Ángel Troncho (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

🧠 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Eibar will have to perform well to see themselves scoring against this Albacete team who we think should score one, at least.

We therefore fancy a narrow 1-0 win for Albacete when the referee blows for full-time.

Expecting it to be tight.
