Albacete face Real Valladolid at Estadio Carlos Belmonte, Albacete on Sunday, Feb 7 at 3:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the LaLiga 2, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Albacete come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Real Valladolid, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Albacete and Real Valladolid have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Real Valladolid won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Albacete a slight edge, but Real Valladolid are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
