Albacete

WDLDWL ⚖

Albacete won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 5-1 La Liga 2 loss in their previous game against Deportivo de La Coruña.

In that game, Albacete had 44% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Deportivo La Coruna had 20 attempts on goal with 9 on target. Yeremay Hernández (28', 34'), Jaime Sánchez (30' Own goal), Zakaria Eddahchouri (46', 62') and Iván Barbero (75') scored for Deportivo de La Coruña.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Albacete haven’t conceded. The reality is that Albacete have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 14 goals in the process.

Leading up to this clash, Albacete:

• are unbeaten in the league by SD Huesca in their previous 9 games. A long run without a loss.
• have not won against SD Huesca in their previous 4 league matches.

SD Huesca

WLWLDL

Following on from being beaten in their last game against Real Oviedo in La Liga 2 competition, SD Huesca will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, SD Huesca had 29% possession and 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for SD Huesca was Patrick Soko (70'). At the other end, Real Oviedo had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target. Santi Cazorla (45') and Haissem Hassan (62') scored for Real Oviedo.

SD Huesca have regularly broken through opposing defences in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 8 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, SD Huesca have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same outings. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Their past results show that SD Huesca:

• are winless against Albacete in away games against them for the last 7 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are without an away win for the past 5 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Albacete

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Albacete manager Alberto González to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Javi Moreno (Muscle injury) is sidelined.

We are thinking that Queso Mecánico could employ a 4-4-2 formation in the match, handing starts to Raúl Lizoain, Javi Rueda, Javi Villar, Lalo Aguilar, Agus Medina, Pablo Sáenz, Riki Rodríguez, Antonio Pacheco, Jon Morcillo, Fidel and Christian Kofane.

ℹ️ Team News: SD Huesca

In an otherwise healthy group, there’s only the one fitness worry for the SD Huesca gaffer Antonio Hidalgo to contend with. Jordi Martín (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that Oscenses could decide to utilise a 5-3-2 system, going with Adrian Pereda, Gerard Valentín, Miguel Loureiro, Rubén Pulido, Jorge Pulido, Ignasi Vilarrasa, Javi Pérez, Oscar Sielva, Iker Kortajarena, Patrick Soko and Sergi Enrich.

💭 Prediction

In our view, SD Huesca are capable enough to score against this Albacete lineup, but that probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.

Our tip is for a 2-1 winning margin for Albacete when the full-time whistle blows. We’ll have to see what happens.
