Albacete form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Albacete have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games. Albacete have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

L. Beltran was the last player to score a league goal for Albacete and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Albacete haven't scored in 203 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Albacete will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the La Liga 2 game against Lugo (placed 6th). Before that, Albacete drew at home versus Leganes.

The manager L. Alcaraz González will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to UD Logrones in only three days.

Albacete are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. From these home matches, Albacete have conceded only 5 goals.

Goalkeeper Fernando Martínez was absolutely vital in the Almería victory against Mirandes, making six saves.

A quick return to home after this game, as Almería are hosting Tenerife in the La Liga 2 only three days away.
