Two sides who could do well with a win square off in round 32 of the Spanish Segunda Division as Albacete play host to Racing Ferrol on Monday.
The hosts are currently in the relegation zone, two points away from safety, while Cristobal Parralo’s men sit just two points adrift of the promotion playoff places.
Albacete were left empty-handed once again as they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Elche at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero last Sunday.
Ruben Albes’ side have now lost their last three games on the bounce, conceding seven goals and scoring four since holding out for a 1-1 draw at Amorebieta back in February.
With just 11 games to go before the season draws to a close, this dire run of results has seen Albacete plunged into the relegation zone, having picked up 31 points from 31 matches so far.
Racing Ferrol, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last weekend when they edged out Real Valladolid 2-0 at the Estadio A Malata.
Prior to that, Parralo’s men were on a six-game winless run, losing three and claiming three draws since the start of February.
With 47 points from 31 matches, Racing Ferrol are currently 10th in the Segunda Division table, two points behind sixth-placed Burgos in the final promotion playoff spot.
