Albacete Balompie, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Burgos will have left the Albacete Balompie squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 20 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Rubén Albés will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 24 games overall.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Cartagena, Recent FormCartagena will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Amorebieta. Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Amorebieta had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Julián Calero will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 20 of their 24 games overall.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Alfredo Ortuño will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Cartagena's last 6 league games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Albacete in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Efesé in their last 8 meetings together.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Cartagena may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 3 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
With no real injury worries, Albacete manager Rubén Albés will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Cartagena manager Julián Calero has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
