Season ticket holders at Estadio Carlos Belmonte haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Albacete languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Mirandés will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Albacete have the fewest scored goals (21) in La Liga 2
  • Mirandés have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a La Liga 2 game only four days ago. That game, against Rayo Vallecano, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Mirandés.
