• have left without a victory over Albacete in their last 3 matches in the league.

Albacete

LLLDLW

Albacete head into the match after a 3-0 La Liga 2 win over CE Sabadell FC in their most recent game.

In that match, Albacete managed 54% possession and 11 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. For Albacete, the scorers were Álvaro Arroyo (34'), Álvaro Peña (52') and Roman Zozulya (62'). At the other end, CE Sabadell FC got 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

The trend of at least one team drawing a blank in games involving Albacete has become apparent in recent matches. Looking at their last six outings reveals that this has happened 5 times. In these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 8 while Queso Mecánico have scored 4. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, however.

Ahead of this clash, Albacete are without a win away from home in their last 3 league matches.

📋 Team News: Mallorca

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Mallorca boss Luis García to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Enzo Lombardo (Ruptured cruciate ligament) will miss out.

🗞️ Team News: Albacete

Albacete manager Lucas Alcaraz has some current player fitness concerns. Jean Jules (Hamstring Injury), Javi Navarro (Inguinal Hernia) and Javi Jiménez (Knee Injury) are those who can’t be considered.

💭 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Albacete may well find it hard to hit the back of the net against this Mallorca lineup who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We therefore fancy a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Mallorca at the conclusion of the game.

Let’s see how this one goes.
