Albacete vs Celta Vigo B Prediction: La Liga 2 Preview

Match Preview

Albacete welcome Celta Vigo B in Spain’s La Liga 2 on 16 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 UTC. The hosts come into the fixture after a 3-0 Copa del Rey win over Calvo Sotelo, while Celta Vigo B are seeking a response to their defeat by Burgos.

Recent defensive records suggest both sides may have opportunities, although past results cannot determine what happens in this match. Albacete’s home league form and Celta Vigo B’s away run offer useful context for assessing the contest.

Recent Form and Team Analysis

Albacete defeated Calvo Sotelo 3-0, with González scoring in the 17th minute, Soberón adding a second in the 19th and Rubio completing the scoring in the 83rd. They have also gone unbeaten in their last two home league matches. However, Albacete have conceded in five of their previous six games, allowing 12 goals in that period.

Celta Vigo B’s latest match ended in a 2-1 loss to Burgos. Marín put them ahead in the 12th minute, but Sánchez equalised in the 68th and Forés scored Burgos’s winner in the 86th. Celta Vigo B recorded 40% possession, six attempts and one shot on target; Burgos had 19 attempts, six of them on target.

The visitors have conceded in each of their last six games, with opponents scoring 14 goals overall, and they have not won in their last four league away matches. Those figures point to a challenging trip, although Albacete’s own recent defensive record leaves scope for Celta Vigo B to score.

Head-to-Head Record

No previous meeting results are included in the available information, so a head-to-head trend cannot be established.

Team News and Line-ups

Albacete are reported to be without Munir El Haddadi and Javi Moreno because of muscle injuries. Samuel Obeng and Antonio Puertas are listed with cruciate ligament tears, while José Corpas is suspended and ineligible for the match.

No confirmed line-ups or Celta Vigo B availability details are provided. The teams’ formations and starting selections therefore remain uncertain.

Tactical Factors

Albacete’s recent cup victory showed their capacity to score, but their record of conceding in five of six recent matches could give Celta Vigo B an opening. The visitors found the net against Burgos, though their six-game run of conceding goals is a concern.

Albacete’s two-match unbeaten sequence at home in the league contrasts with Celta Vigo B’s four away league matches without a win, giving the hosts a contextual advantage. The available information does not specify either team’s tactical approach, so the extent of that advantage remains uncertain.

Albacete vs Celta Vigo B Score Prediction

Predicted score: Albacete 2-1 Celta Vigo B.

Albacete’s home record and their latest 3-0 result make them the more convincing pick, while Celta Vigo B’s away run points to a difficult assignment. Both teams’ recent defensive records, however, offer reason to expect the visitors could find a way to score.

A narrow home win is a forecast, not a certainty. Celta Vigo B scored in their latest outing, and Albacete have conceded regularly in recent games, making a competitive match plausible.
