Albacete to Win

The home team has done well this season since they are currently in the middle of the standings, which is a good spot for a team that was in the league below last season.

However, Albacete is also a newly-promoted team, but they are currently sixth and fighting for a spot in the playoffs. They also enter this game after beating Eibar, the league leaders, so we can see the guests getting the three points here.

This will be a very interesting duel between two teams that were promoted this season and already doing well in the higher rank. However, Albacete is simply in better form at the moment and they are hosting the match, so we expect them to win the game.

Over 2.5 Total Goals

Only two of the previous five duels between Villarreal B and Albacete have gone over 2.5 total goals, but despite that, we can see this game ending with three or more goals being scored.

The reason lies in the fact that Albacete averaged 2.44 goals per game in Segunda this season, which is the highest average in the league. Meanwhile, Villarreal B is not that far behind with an average of 2.33 goals per game.

Both Teams to Score – Yes

Since we can see this game going over 2.5 total goals, we can also see both teams scoring, although that only happened once in the last five h2h meetings between Villarreal B and Albacete

After all, both teams have scored in 64% of all Albacete games in the league this season, while the same is true for 47 % of all Villarreal B matches in La Liga 2 so far.

Villarreal B vs Albacete preview: Can Albacete stay close to the top?

Villarreal B

In the last six games in La Liga 2, Villarreal B has one win, three draws, and two losses, with the two losses coming in the last two rounds of the competition. Overall, the team is pretty much safely tucked in the middle of the standings, so Villarreal B is almost certainly staying up, which was their main goal as the newly promoted team. Meanwhile, only Pablo Iniguez is on the team’s injury list right now.

Albacete

After a bad run of five games without a win, Albacete finally ended that streak by beating league leaders Eibar in the last round. Thanks to that, Albacete remains in sixth place at the moment, which is the last spot that leads to the playoffs at the end of the season. This is obviously a great place to be for Albacete, who is a newly-promoted team. When it comes to team news, Alvaro Rodríguez, Sergi Maestre, and Diegui are out with injuries, while Juan María Alcedo is suspended.
