The visiting Numancia side should be favourites in this visit to Albacete, as the away team holds a 8 point advantage from their 28 league games this season.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Albacete form and stats

Albacete's struggle is real here at Estadio Carlos Belmonte with only 13 points collected from 13 La Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-4-6. All in all it has been a very rough period for Albacete who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Real Zaragoza, 97 days ago. With seven home La Liga 2 games in a row without a win, the Albacete fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Cádiz game long ago, can be stopped today.

Albacete shared the glory with Mirandés in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Ponferradina.

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 three of these, drawn six and lost six.

Albacete have scored 8 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. 14 goals have been conceded.

Numancia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Numancia so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 2-6-5 (win-draw-lose). Numancia has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Numancia's last game was the home draw against Las Palmas (1-1). A 1-2 defeat away at Málaga before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Numancia in our archives, and the results are: one win for Numancia, five draws and three defeats.

Numancia are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 13 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Numancia have conceded 20 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
