Las Palmas continue their push for promotion to Spain’s top flight when they face Albacete on Monday evening.
The Islanders travel to the Estadio Carlos Belmonte in fine form after a pair of high-scoring La Liga 2 victories in recent weeks, while Albacete head into the contest following a tight goalless draw at Huesca last weekend.
Las Palmas claimed a narrow 2:1 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season and can expect another demanding test this time around.

Albacete team overview
Albacete head into Monday’s La Liga 2 contest aiming to build on a hard-fought 0:0 draw at Huesca last weekend. Despite creating the better chances at El Alcoraz, Alberto González Fernández’s side were unable to find a breakthrough.
El Queso Mecánico have struggled to find any kind of winning form in recent weeks, with last weekend's draw marking a sixth fixture without victory. Albacete had won four successive games before their recent downturn in performance levels.
High-scoring outcomes have been rare for the home side this year. Eight of their ten most recent league fixtures finished with under 2.5 goals scored. Three of their last four games also finished deadlocked, suggesting a potentially tight affair on Monday.
Head coach Fernández has three expected absentees this week. Edward Cedeño, Higinio Marín and Diego Mariño are tipped to remain sidelined.

Las Palmas team overview
Las Palmas arrive at Estadio Carlos Belmonte with confidence raised following a pair of dominant La Liga 2 victories. Luis García Fernández's side eased to a 3:0 road win at Cultural Leonesa before a commanding 4:0 success against Ceuta last time out.
Los Amarillos had endured a difficult run before those easy victories, failing to win each of seven previous La Liga 2 encounters. Five of those games finished as draws, including four 1:1 stalemates.
Tough to beat on their travels, Las Palmas lost just two of 14 away games this season. Seven of those fixtures finished level, and another tight matchup seems likely this week.
Head coach Fernández is expected to retain confidence in the same selection that brushed past Ceuta. Jeremía Recoba remains a long-term absentee with a serious knee injury.
