Team Analysis
The match sees Albacete face Racing Ferrol. Albacete enters this match in a weak form, having only one victory in their last twelve league games. On the other hand, Ferrol comes in strong, fresh off a 2-0 victory against direct playoffs contenders Real Valladolid. The last four league games of Albacete have seen both teams scoring. Racing Ferrol is set to travel southwards to face Albacete in the conclusion of Matchday No 32 in the Spanish Segunda Division. Ferrol has exceeded expectations this season, having been promoted from the third tier, Primera Federacion, earlier this year. Their head coach, Cristobal, has done a commendable job steering them to ninth position in the Segunda Division table, just two points adrift of Burgos in the promotional playoffs. Albacete, managed by Ruben Albes, is mired in challenges and has slipped to the 19th position following three consecutive losses. They are hanging by a thread, just one point above Villarreal B in the relegation zone.

Head-to-Head
The previous encounter between these two rivals was nothing short of thrilling, with an aggregate of nine goals leading to a 5-4 victory for Racing Ferrol in December of last year at Estadio Municipal de A Malata. Ferrol has the upper hand in previous meetups, having secured three victories, one draw, and one loss in their last five games against Albacete. Each of these encounters saw both teams finding the back of the net.

Odds Analysis
Racing Ferrol comes into this encounter in high spirit. Their stellar display led to a convincing 2-0 win over direct promotional playoffs competitor Real Valladolid, putting an end to their six-game winless streak in the league. Despite Albacete's close fight in their 2-3 defeat last weekend to second-placed Elche, their leaky defence turned out to be their undoing. They have lost three consecutive league games. With Ferrol's impressive track record of winning three, drawing one, and losing only one of the previous five games against Albacete, odds are stacked against an Albacete win on Monday. A situation where both teams score is quite high, as evident from the last four league games of Albacete where this played out. This is compounded by the host team's subpar defensive performances, which have seen them concede two or more goals in their last three Segunda Division games. Likewise, both teams have managed to score in each of the past seven head-to-head matches between these two teams.

Pick: Ferrol to win or draw
