Granada will host Albacete at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes on Friday in another round of the Segunda Division campaign.
The home side enjoyed a solid start to their season but seem to have lost their way of late, falling behind in the race for promotion. They were beaten 1-0 by 10-man Real Oviedo in their last game and will be gutted to have come away with nothing after dominating proceedings for much of the game.
Granada sit eighth in the league table with 22 points from 15 games. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Albacete have had mixed results on their return to the Segunda Division. They were beaten 3-2 by Levante in their last league outing before returning to winning ways last time out with a 3-0 extra-time win over fifth-tier Huetor Tajar in the Copa del Rey on Saturday.
The visitors are level on points with their weekend opponents but sit a place behind them in the league table.

Granada vs Albacete Prediction
Granada's latest result ended a three-game winless and goalless run and they will aim to build on that. They are undefeated on home turf in the league this season and will fancy their chances ahead of Friday's game.
Albacete are winless in their last four league games and will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend. They have, however, won just one of their last five league games on the road and could see defeat here.
