Match prediction for Albacete vs Leganés

The teams Albacete and Leganés face off at Estadio Carlos Belmonte in a clash for the 20th round of Liga Adelante. The recent head-to-head record favors the home team, which has 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 6 matches. Their last encounter on December 4, 2025, ended in a 2-1 victory for Albacete. In this match, the home factor could play an important role, as Leganés shows significant differences in results obtained at home and as visitors.

Analysis of Albacete

After 6 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses, the home team stands in 14th place, having accumulated 23 points. In their last match, they drew with Granada away (1-1), following a previous home loss to Málaga (1-3). This team maintains performance when playing away, as they have recorded 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 away games; compared to 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses at home. In the league, Albacete has earned 10 points out of 27 possible, having 3 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses in their last 9 home games. The most common halftime score at home has been 0-0 (4 out of 9 games). Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, but their attack has scored regularly, netting in 9 of their last 10 league games. In 19 games this season, they have only managed 2 comebacks in the 8 games where they conceded first. In their recent 11 home games across all competitions, there has been a notable trend: they scored 5 of their 12 goals between the 46th and 60th minutes.

Albacete has demonstrated solid offensive performance but still struggles to escape the bottom half of the table, recently drawing 1-1 against Granada away with a goal from Jefté Betancor. The team typically sets up in a 4-4-2 formation, relying on Agus Medina and Jefté Betancor as the pairing tasked with finalizing attacks. In deeper roles, Antonio Puertas, Jon Morcillo, Antonio Pacheco, and Riki Rodríguez form the block responsible for advancing play, alternating ball circulation, targeted infiltrations, and vertical passes to break through defenses and maintain presence in opponent territory. It appears the full squad will be available for the upcoming round.

Analysis of Leganés

The visiting team currently sits in 20th place, with 20 points from 4 wins, 8 draws, and 7 losses. In the penultimate game, they drew 1-1 away against Racing Santander. In their most recent match, they lost at home to Sporting Gijón (0-1). Interestingly, this team has been stronger away than at home, with 5 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses in their last 30 away games; compared to 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses at home. In the last 10 away matches in the league, Leganés has garnered 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses, earning 14 points from 30 possible. The most frequent halftime result in their away league matches has been 0-0, occurring in 6 out of 9 games. The team has conceded goals to opponents in 7 of their last 10 matches in this competition, indicating a lack of defensive strength. In 19 games this season, they have never managed to turn around their fortunes in the 6 matches in which they conceded first. Two highlighted periods in their last 10 away matches for this competition include: scoring 4 of their 11 goals between the 46th and 60th minutes, and conceding 5 of their 9 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Leganés is attempting to escape the relegation zone but has faced setbacks, losing again at home against Sporting Gijón (0-1) in their last match. The team is adjusting to a 4-2-3-1 formation, which positions Diego García as the attacking reference. Slightly withdrawn are Juan Cruz, Roberto López, and Duk, who maneuver freely to circulate and infiltrate empty spaces, maintaining possession in advanced areas and ensuring continuous pressure on the opponent’s defense throughout the match. Defender Lalo Aguilar and striker Miguel de la Fuente are both suspended and confirmed absentees for the next match.
