Albacete – Almeria

Albacete host a formidable Almeria as the season’s ninth round looms, with the home side languishing in 21st place on a solitary point from five games (0‑1‑4, 3‑8). Almeria sit comfortably in the top half, occupying sixth with nine points after three wins and two defeats, boasting a positive goal difference of +4 (8‑4). The gap between the two clubs is stark: Almeria have already secured three victories while Albacete have yet to taste a win. If the Catalans hope to spark a revival, they must erase a four‑goal deficit and turn their lone draw into a win against a side that has already proven its scoring edge. The encounter promises a classic battle between a struggling host desperate for points and a mid‑table side eager to consolidate its position.
