C.D. Leganés visits Albacete Balompié this Sunday (6:30 p.m.) at Carlos Belmonte Stadium in a match corresponding to Matchday 20 of LALIGA HYPERMOTION. The Pepineros will look to start the new year on the right foot to move away from the bottom of the table.
Lega heads into its first match of 2026 needing to get back on the winning track and secure a victory that reaffirms the positive momentum since Igor Oca took over as head coach. The coach will be without the injured Figueredo and the suspended Lalo and Miguel, though he welcomes back Rubén Peña, who has recovered from his injury.
For its part, Albacete enters the match three points ahead of Leganés after finishing 2025 with just one win in its last five matches. Higinio and Pepe Sánchez, both dealing with niggles, are doubtful for coach Alberto González. The two teams faced off a month ago at Ontime Butarque in a Copa del Rey match won by Albacete (1-2).
Nearly 400 Leganés fans will gather at Carlos Belmonte to cheer on their team in the first match of the year.
