Albacete form and stats

Albacete, who have the fewest scored goals (24) in La Liga 2, have collected 20 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 5-5-8.

Albacete manager A. Menéndez García and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Rayo Vallecano (placed 6th) in the La Liga 2. Ahead of that match, Albacete won a home game hosting Mirandes (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Albacete perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Albacete as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Albacete has won four of these, drawn five and lost seven.

Albacete have scored 14 league goals here from 18 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Albacete have conceded 19 goals.

Alcorcón form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Alcorcón so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 3-7-8 (win-draw-lose).

Alcorcón failed to get anything from their last game, a La Liga 2 home match vs Leganes (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game was the away victory against Lugo with the score of 3-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Alcorcón playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were two Alcorcón wins, nine draws and one defeat.

The attacking power of Alcorcón when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 18 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (16 so far).

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Alcorcón - Albacete 1-2 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - one - four (Albacete wins - draws - Alcorcón wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.
