Cultural Leonesa vs Albacete prediction 06.10.2025 | La Liga 2

Cultural Leonesa managed to return to La Liga 2 by winning the Primera RFEF Group 1 and eventually winning the Playoffs vs Ceuta. They returned to La Liga 2 after eight years spent in the third tier of Spanish football. This year, their only goal is to survive. After losing three matches at the start of the season, they are now doing a solid job and have moved away from the danger zone. Right now, they are in 18th place with seven points from seven rounds. Still, they are only one point away from dropping back to the danger zone and have to keep winning points, especially at home, where they have struggled thus far. 

In the previous game vs Real Valladolid, both forward Pibe and defender Victor Garcia suffered injuries 10-15 minutes before the end of the match and had to leave the field. They will most likely miss the upcoming game, along with four other players who already missed the previous games with injuries: Quique Fornos, Sergio Maestre Garcia, Eneko Satrustegui, and Rafael Tresaco. 

Albacete have been a mid-table team in La Liga 2 in the recent three seasons, finishing between sixth and 13th with 51 and 67 points. This year, after an atrocious start where they won just one point in the opening four games, they won seven points in the last three games. Now, they sit in 15th place with eight points - two points away from the danger zone. Still, there are undoubtedly reasons to be optimistic about their recent form.

Forward Higinio Marin served his four-game suspension after his red card in the Cadiz game and will be available. However, Victor Valverde and Antonio Pacheco, who missed the previous game(s) with injuries, should remain sidelined.
