The hands of Zaragoza sit six points clear of relegation danger and will look to recreate the confident performance seen in the 3-0 victory over Leganés from a fortnight ago. Fran Escriba has, quite frankly, faced a longer injury list than typical, with a string of absentees that complicates selection. Five players are unavailable due to various issues, including injuries to key contributors. One player, Quinteros, remains in international duty with his national team, while others such as Cobler and Baby have not been able to train normally all week. The squad’s depth will be tested, but recent training sessions have offered glimpses of a plan to exploit the home venue and crowd support.
Albacete travels in sixth place to Zaragoza, carrying a five-point cushion over Burgos. The visitors were defeated at home by Granada last weekend, a result that stung but also served as a reminder of the league’s competitiveness. Burgos, meanwhile, could only draw, narrowing the gap by a single point. The La Mancha club has emerged as a surprise package in the upper part of the table, delivering consistent results and showing a clear ambition to secure a top position and push for a potential late-season surge toward the summit next season.
