In that game, Levante had 75% possession and 21 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Huesca had 7 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Florian Miguel (39'), Jorge Pulido (62') and Juan Carlos (74') scored for SD Huesca.

In their past 6 fixtures, Javier Calleja's Levante have seen rewards for their attempts on goal a total of 7 times, an average number of goals scored per match of 1.17.

Pre-game facts show that Levante:

• haven't lost in the league to Albacete in their previous 2 games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 10 home league matches. It's been impressive.

Albacete

WLWDDW

Albacete come into this encounter following a 2-1 La Liga 2 win vs Sporting Gijón in their last fixture.

In that game, Albacete managed 35% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. For Albacete, the goalscorers were Jonathan Dubasin (12') and Maikel Mesa (35'). On the other side, Sporting Gijón had 13 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Uroš Đurđević (9') scored for Sporting Gijón.

The stats tell the story, and Albacete have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 6 goals in all. In defence, Albacete seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this game, though.

Pre-game facts show that Albacete:

• are unbeaten in their previous 2 away league matches.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league matches.

📋 Team News: Levante

Sergio Postigo (Knee Injury), Shkodran Mustafi (Muscle Injury), José Campaña (Muscle Injury), Rúben Vezo (Hamstring Injury) and Roger Brugué (Hamstring Injury) will not be able to play for Levante boss Javier Calleja.

It looks as if Levante should opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring Dani Cárdenas, Francisco Son, Rober Pier, Álex Muñoz, Marcelo Saracchi, Pepelu, Pablo Martínez, Jorge de Frutos, Jhonathan Montiel, Robert Ibañez and Mohamed Bouldini.

📋 Team News: Albacete

Thanks to a completely injury-free group ready to go, the Albacete manager Rubén Albés does not have any fitness worries to speak of before this clash.

We’re of the thinking that Queso Mecánico will likely begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Diego Altube, Juan María Alcedo, Flavien Boyomo, Antonio Cristian, Julio Alonso, Maikel Mesa, Riki Rodríguez, Lander Olaetxea, Manuel Fuster, Juanma and Jonathan Dubasin.

🔮 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Albacete certainly have the ability to find the net against this Levante lineup, but it may not quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 win for Levante when the full-time whistle blows. It really should be an interesting one.
