Mirandes - Albacete

LaLiga2


Mirandes receives this Monday Albacete, bottom of the league, with the intention of not detaching from the promotion positions to LaLiga and forgetting his disappointing elimination in cup.


"That was already forgotten and we have to focus on the league," said the coach José Alberto López, who warned that despite receiving the last classified, Albacete "is a direct rival", so his team has to do "things right and develop the game" as they want.


"For us it is a six-point game against a direct rival, who is trying to assimilate the ideas that the new coach is installing in them," said the rojillo coach.



Albacete will seek their first victory in ten games. The lack of goal has weighed down a team that has only scored one (from a penalty) in the last eight games, and that has only been able to materialize nine goals in the first eighteen league weeks.

The scoring drought means that the Albacete team has not seen the door for 553 minutes -including the Copa del Rey match this week in which they fell 1-0 against Córdoba-, and that they need to look for alternatives in attack, especially due to absences .


They miss forward Zozulya due to coronavirus, Álvaro Jiménez, the footballer in the best shape of the squad and author of the last goal in the competition, is suspended , defender Javi Jiménez due to injury and midfielder Azamoum due to the accumulation of yellows are also out .


Albacete lost all games away from home but two 0-0 draws where they deserved to lose big , their last game was a 3-0 vs weak Castellon. 


The team is dead and only a miracle saves them from relegation , they show no football , no ambition ..."
