Albacete (home team)
- "Albacete Balompie sit 14th in LaLiga 2 on 23 points after 19 games, representing an acceptable level of mid-table stability for a club that has often hovered in the relegation zone."
- "Under the leadership of Alberto Gonzalez, who took over in March 2024, they have become an organized, possession-based team that can go from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3 formation without losing their structure."
- "Albacete have won three, tied one and lost one in their last five games in all competitions."
Leganes (away team)
- "Leganes have struggled recently, however, picking up just one point from their last two away matches and enduring a run of three defeats and two draws from their previous five."
- "A 0-0 tie at home to Cordoba, a 1-1 tie at Racing Santander and a 0-1 defeat at home to Sporting Gijon have left the Pepeleones languishing in 20th place on 20 points from their first 19 games."
- "His Leganes counterpart, Igor Oca, took charge in December 2025."
Head-to-Head
"Albacete’s recent dominance of the head-to-head record, which includes a 2-1 away win in the Copa del Rey just three weeks ago, should encourage them to take the win on Sunday, although Leganes have been very resilient on the road in this division, winning three, drawing five and losing only two of their 10 away games."
Key Players
- "Jefte Betancor has found his stride for Albacete, however, netting three of his team’s last five goals, but the team remains dependent on Agus Medina’s reliable presence in the LaLiga 2 top scorers table, where he currently sits on six from 17."
- "Diego Garcia has led the line for Leganes with three goals in 19 appearances, but Oca has struggled to find an answer for his side’s lack of firepower."
Betting Insights
- "Albacete are priced 2.38 for the win, Leganes are 3.19 and the tie is 3.24."
- "However, the 2.38 odds on offer for the home side are generous for a side that averages 1.11 goals per game at home, and the 1.88 on both teams to score offers more value in a game that should be open enough to see both sides score."
Prediction
"The visitors have failed to win in their previous two visits to this venue, however, and that psychological barrier could be enough to tip this one to the home team."
