Form Guide & Team Overview
Albacete
Albacete’s recent form has been a mixed bag, with a couple of draws and losses overshadowing their impressive 4-0 away win against Racing Santander. Their ability to score is evident, but defensive issues have seen them concede crucial goals, as shown in their recent 2-3 home loss to Burgos. The team will need to tighten up at the back if they want to turn their fortunes around.

The draw against Mirandés away from home was a hard-fought point, and they’ll be hoping to build on that resilience.
