It's the second possibility for points this campaign as Albacete and Burgos battle it out at Estadio Carlos Belmonte.

Albacete form and stats

The season before, Albacete's league results were 19 wins, 10 draws and 9 losses, producing 3rd spot in the Primera Division RFEF: Group 2. During these 38 matches they scored 52 goals and conceded 34. Appearing as the host team in the previous season Albacete produced 14-2-3 (win-draw-lost) with 33 goals and 10 conceded.

A good away victory last time out for Albacete, who won 2-1 against Lugo (placed 17th). At last, a league win after four games without. Rodríguez was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.84 out of 10. The defender Rodríguez hit two key passes and won 6 of 9 duels.

Before that match, a Primera Division RFEF: Promotion win away at Deportivo La Coruna (after extra-time).

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 8 games. Albacete has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Burgos form and stats

Let's have a look at how Burgos performed last season in the La Liga 2: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 10 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 41 and conceded 41 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 3 and lost 13 with 14/29 goals scored/conceded.

The Burgos goalkeeper Jose Antonio Caro Diaz is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 297 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Burgos's previous game versus Malaga (placed 19th), a 1-0 win played at home. Midfield player Rodríguez was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.35/10. Rodríguez hit the woodwork once and hit four key passes.

A draw for Burgos before that, at their own venue hosting Girona (0-0).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Burgos playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 2 Burgos wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
