Venue: Estadio Carlos Belmonte (17524 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estadio Carlos Belmonte haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Albacete languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Las Palmas will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Albacete and Las Palmas.

It's quite the trip for Las Palmas when visiting Albacete as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.

Albacete form and stats

Overall La Liga 2 stats at home this season for Albacete are 4-6-7 (wins-draw-losses).

The spoils were shared in Albacete's previous game, also at home. Visiting Huesca (placed 4th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Extremadura UD with a 1-0 scoreline.

A disappointing finish for Albacete in their match versus Huesca as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

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 15 games. Albacete has won four of these, drawn five and lost six.

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

Albacete aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Carlos Belmonte in the league, with only 13 goals from 17 games. On the other hand, Albacete have conceded 19 goals.

Las Palmas form and stats

The visitors are W5-D6-L6 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga 2.

The Palmas goalkeeper Josep Martinez Riera is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 275 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Las Palmas had fun at their own home (Estadio Carlos Belmonte) last time out, beating Lugo 1-0. Rubén Castro scored. Prior to that result Palmas won their away game at Almeria. The scoreline was 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Las Palmas playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were three Las Palmas wins, six draws and three defeats.

After this away game Palmas return home for a La Liga 2 game against Elche. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Palmas have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.

Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
