OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Albacete's two home games in the La Liga 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Carlos Belmonte.

In their previous game, the manager Yáñez led his Albacete to a defeat away at FC Cartagena. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Carlos Belmonte. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going undefeated through four league matches. Barragán had a busy but productive day in the FC Cartagena match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Alonso, defender, was given a rating of 7.63/10 in that game, top of the team.
