Albacete host Zaragoza at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte, for the nineteenth round of Spanish LaLiga2 action. Albacete are currently in ninth place in the standings, with their weekend 4-2 loss to Mirandes doing little to close the gap towards them and the promotion places. The hosts have now won just two of their last eight games, with their tendency for front foot football costing in terms of their defensive record. On the other hand, it has contributed to a lot of entertaining games of late, with thirteen goals recorded in their last three games, while all of their most recent six encounters have gone Over the 2.5 goal line. When it comes to their home performances, Albacete have been resolute and tough to beat overall, having lost just two of their last thirteen matchups, while they are also unbeaten in the last four home encounters against Zaragoza. 

Zaragoza endured a dramatic finale in their game against Ibiza, managing to claim a stoppage-time 2-1 victory against them. The importance of that win was tremendous for Zaragoza, managing to arrest a fruitless run of five games without a win, while they managed to put some distance between them and the relegation places (four teams are dropping to the third division this year). On the downside, they will not be looking forward to another encounter on the road, having lost five of their last seven away games and failing to score in each of these defeats. To make matters worse, they have beaten Albacete just once in their last eleven away meetings, with six of them featuring Over 2.5 goals.
