Real Zaragoza and Albacete Current Form and Standings

Real Zaragoza have endured a fairly troubling start to their LaLiga2 campaign. The Little Whites have picked up just two points from their opening four games, after drawing both of their most recent two. They started off by losing to Real Sociedad B on opening day, followed by another loss to FC Andorra. However they have since picked up the form slightly, by drawing 1-1 to both Castellon and Real Valladolid. This now leaves Zaragoza 18th in the LaLiga2 table, just one point and one place above the drop zone. This happens to be the exact position they finished in the table last season. Of course it is only early days, but Zaragoza really need to get some wins under their belt before relegation becomes an even bigger threat to them.

Albacete have had such a torrid start to the campaign, they cannot even match Zaragoza’s two points. Alberto Gonzalez’s men have only grabbed one point from their opening four matches, which came almost four weeks ago. They drew their first game of the season to Almeria, after a 4-4 thriller, which included Almeria scoring an 100th minute equaliser. However since then, Albacete have lost every game, after playing Racing Santander, Cadiz and CD Mirandes.This now puts them 20th in the league table - third from bottom, with confidence at an all-time low. Last term, Albacete finished 10th, so they really need to patch up their performances to get back to that standard.
