Villarreal B, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Leganés will not have sat easily with the Villarreal B squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Leganés, who had 14 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Miguel Álvarez will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Albacete Balompie, Recent FormAlbacete Balompié will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against Eibar. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Eibar's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Rubén Albés will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Lander Olaetxea will be hoping to create problems for Villarreal B in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Albacete Balompié.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
In the previous 3 league encounters between these two teams, Queso Mecánico have failed to score a single goal against Villarreal B.
Villarreal B have proven they're a capable side against Albacete in the league and are unbeaten in their last 5 league encounters.
With no real injury worries, Villarreal B manager Miguel Álvarez will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Albacete manager Rubén Albés has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
