📋 Team News: Córdoba CF

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Córdoba CF boss Iván Ania to be concerned with from a near full-strength group of players. Alberto del Moral (Hamstring injury) is sidelined.

It looks as if Los Califas should use a 4-3-3 formation this time featuring Carlos Marin, Carlos Isaac, Xavi Sintes, Gabriele Corbo, José Calderón, Pedro Ortiz, Álex Sala, Theo Zidane, Cristian Carracedo, Nikolay Obolskiy and Jacobo Gonzalez.

📰 Team News: Albacete

Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Albacete gaffer Alberto González to contend with. Javi Moreno (Muscle injury) won’t be in action.

There’s a good chance that Queso Mecánico could decide to utilise a 4-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Cristian Rivero, Nabil Touaizi, Pepe Sánchez, Lalo Aguilar, Agus Medina, Pablo Sáenz, Alejandro Meléndez, Javi Villar, Jon Morcillo, Higinio Marín and Javier Martón.

⚡ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Córdoba CF can and should be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the other end, Albacete will not find it easy to score a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 winning margin for Córdoba CF at the end of this one.
