Cultural Leonesa vs Albacete

Cultural Leonesa host Albacete in a Monday night Spanish La Liga 2 fixture, with both teams looking to maintain their recent momentum.

Both teams come into this clash in similar form and separated by just one point. Looking evenly matched heading into this clash, they are likely to cancel each other out for a draw.

Cultural Leonesa News

Cultural Leonesa claimed a 1-0 victory at Real Valladolid in their previous La Liga 2 fixture. They struck early in the first half through Diego Collado and were able to hold on for the win.

That result extends a recent good run for Cultural Leonesa, who are now unbeaten in three of their last five La Liga 2 matches. However, their home form needs some work, with Cuco Ziganda’s team failing to earn a single win at home this season.

Cultural Leonesa have scored in four of their last five matches, with two of the last three on this run producing over 1.5 goals after the break. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in two of their three home matches this season.

Albacete News

Albacete were also victorious last time out in La Liga 2 as they claimed a 4-3 win at Gijon. They fought back from three goals down, with Jon Morcillo netting a brace while Antonio Puertas and Agus Medina were also on target.

Having been winless in their opening four La Liga 2 matches, that result means Albacete are now unbeaten in their last three fixtures. The win at Gijon also means Alberto Gonzalez's team are unbeaten in their last two away matches, having played out a 0-0 draw at Zaragoza in their previous fixture on the road.

As evidenced by the win at Gijon, goals are not a problem for Albacete, who have scored in six of their seven La Liga 2 matches this season. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet five times on this run, while three of the last four league fixtures have produced over 1.5 goals after the break.

Head to Head

There have been only four previous matches between both teams, with Cultural Leonesa earning one win, while the other three meetings have ended in draws. Both teams battled to a 0-0 scoreline in the last clash back in 2018.

Verdict

Cultural Leonesa v Albacete Balompie

Cultural Leonesa and Albacete often struggle to maintain their discipline at the back and could be backed to score here. Both teams have a knack for serving up goals after the break, and a similar pattern is expected in this one.

There is usually little to separate Cultural Leonesa and Albacete, and both teams come into this clash with similar records. They are evenly matched at the moment and could be set to battle to a stalemate on Monday.
