An important duel in the bottom section of the La Liga 2, with both Albacete and Castellón experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 22nd and the visitors in 20th place.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the La Liga 2. That game was an away game at Girona, so at least Albacete are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
