Head-to-Head Record

Win Probability: Talavera de la Reina or Albacete?

Based on the available data, we calculate the following win probabilities for this match:

• Talavera de la Reina win: 18%
• Draw: 20%
• Albacete win: 62%

These probabilities are derived from the bookmakers' odds (home 6.00, draw 5.75, away 1.28), which imply a strong away favorite. We normalized the implied probabilities to remove the margin, then adjusted for Talavera's superior recent form (W2 D2 L1 vs Albacete's D1 L4) and home advantage. However, Albacete play in a much higher division (Segunda vs Segunda Federacion), which explains the heavy odds tilt. Despite their poor run, Albacete’s quality should be decisive.
