Both teams were weak in the last 5 matches, and both teams need the points, Ferrol for a possible promotion, while Albacete need them to avoid relegation. Out of the 12 clashes between the teams, only in 3 of them one team didn’t score.
It should be a do or die match for them and they need to attack in order to achieve anything. I’m betting on Ferrol to score as the odds seem to good to be true.
