WDLDWL ⚖
Albacete will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 5-1 La Liga 2 loss in their previous game against Deportivo de La Coruña.
In that match, Albacete had 44% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Deportivo La Coruna got 20 attempts on goal with 9 of them 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
Since being beaten in their last game against Real Oviedo in La Liga 2 competition, SD Huesca and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that game, SD Huesca had 29% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for SD Huesca was Patrick Soko (70'). At the other end, Real Oviedo had 12 attempts at 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 be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Javi Moreno (Muscle injury) is sidelined.
In our view, Queso Mecánico look set to use a 4-4-2 system for this game and select Raúl Lizoain, Javi Rueda, Javi Villar, Lalo Aguilar, Jaume Costa, Pablo Sáenz, Riki Rodríguez, Antonio Pacheco, Jon Morcillo, Javier Martón and José Carlos Lazo.
📋
Team News: SD Huesca
Thanks to a mainly available group, there’s only a single fitness worry for the SD Huesca gaffer Antonio Hidalgo to contend with. Jordi Martín (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.
We’re of the thinking that Oscenses could decide to make use of a 5-3-2 formation, settling for Adrian Pereda, Gerard Valentín, Miguel Loureiro, Rubén Pulido, Jorge Pulido, Ignasi Vilarrasa, Joaquín Muñoz, 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.
