Albacete will be looking to record back to back home wins for the first time this season when they welcome Real Zaragoza to Estadio Carlos Belmonte on Friday.
The hosts' five-match unbeaten run was put to the test last weekend away to Tenerife. Álvaro Cervera's men made a slow start, going behind after just seven minutes, and despite a second-half goal from Morcillo they lost 3:1. However, Queso Mecánico will take heart from the fact that they won their last home game and are unbeaten in their last nine.
Real Zaragoza, meanwhile, hosted Cadiz in their final Segunda División fixture and were looking to go unbeaten for the third game in a row. They had to do it the hard way, playing out a goalless draw with a man down after Dani Tasende's red card. The visitors' three-match unbeaten run includes just one win, but they will be buoyed by the fact that it came on the road.
Albacete vs Real Zaragoza Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Although Albacete conceded three goals against Tenerife last weekend, El Queso Mecánico have been very good defensively in recent months and I expect them to be strong at the back this week. Álvaro Cervera's men conceded under a goal in all but two of their last ten matches, with five of those games ending with less than 2.5 goals scored.
Real Zaragoza have also not conceded many goals in recent months. They have conceded under one goal in all but one of their last five matches, with only two of those games ending in 3+ goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Albacete vs Real Zaragoza prediction: 1-1

Real Zaragoza team news
Like their hosts, Real Zaragoza will be without the services of just one player this week through injury.
Sebastian Kosa has been sidelined since October with a broken leg and should miss Friday's game.
The visitors also have a player serving a suspension after Dani Tasende's red card for two bookable offences in last weekend's draw with Cadiz.
