Albacete vs Cordoba — Tips & Analysis

Cordoba +0.25: Cordoba have the better recent record and the better recent history here. They have won 7 of their last 14 games, and four of the last five meetings ended in a Cordoba win or a tie. Albacete are the bigger worry. They sit 21st with one point from five league games and have scored one goal or fewer in each of their last five. Those results read 1-1, 0-2, 0-1, 1-2 and 1-2, so the goals are simply not coming. They also let in almost 2 goals a game at home and are without Javi Villar and Pacheco. Cordoba are far from perfect themselves. They have let in 12 goals across their last five games with no clean sheet, and they lost 0-2 and 1-3 at home in that run. What they do have is a forward line that keeps producing on the road, where they score almost 2 goals a game. Put a side who cannot score against a side who cannot defend and a 1-1 is the natural finish. Cordoba have a head start here and do not need to win the game, which suits a nervous night between two teams in the bottom places. The risk is obvious. Cordoba defend badly enough that Albacete could nick this at home, and one mistake would do it. We are on Cordoba, just without getting carried away.
