A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Mallorca fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Albacete's 20th place in the table will show on the pitch.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the La Liga 2. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Mirandés.
Mallorca form and stats
Mallorca have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the La Liga 2. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Mallorca after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Mallorca, as their goalkeeper Manuel Reina Rodriguez has completely shut out the opponents for 490 minutes in the La Liga 2.
Mallorca travelled for their previous game, a trip to Mirandés that ended 0-0. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Lugo.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mallorca have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost three.
The manager L. García Plaza will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Alcorcon in only three days.
The Mallorca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Mallorca have only let in 1 goal at home.
Albacete form and stats
No La Liga 2 points yet away for Albacete, from their first 3 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Albacete's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Albacete won their last game, 3-0 versus Sabadell played at home. Prior to that match, the Albacete manager L. Alcaraz González faced defeat when travelling to Real Zaragoza and losing 0-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Albacete in our archives, and the results are: seven wins for Albacete, one draw and three defeats.
After this away game Albacete return home for a La Liga 2 game against Rayo Vallecano. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Albacete are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 0 goals from 3 away games. Albacete's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
