Girona - Albacete
Girona look to build momentum against struggling Albacete
Friday evening at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, Girona host Albacete for a matchday 7 LaLiga2 encounter. The home side enters this contest with a sense of stability, having secured a notable 2-1 victory away to Cadiz in their most recent outing. While Girona have navigated a mixed start to the campaign, their ability to find the net remains a consistent threat. In contrast, Albacete arrive in Catalonia facing a difficult run of form, currently winless in their opening fixtures and seeking to recover from a 2-1 home defeat to Cordoba last week.
Injuries have complicated preparations for both camps, with Bryan Gil sidelined for the hosts and a significant list of absentees, including Lorenzo Aguado and Pepe Sanchez, hampering the visitors. The expected XI for Girona features Abel Ruiz and Carles Perez leading the attack, while Albacete look to Mario Soberon to spark their offense. With Albacete struggling to find defensive consistency, Girona will aim to exploit the gaps in their opponent's backline to climb the table.
