Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Elche play host to Albacete at their Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in the Segunda Division round 31. Los Franjiverdes are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and you should know that they managed to keep a clean sheet in each of the previous four La Liga 2 games. Anyhow, Elche are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Sunday’s clash. Sebastian Beccacece should have a full squad to choose from except for Oscar Plano, who remains in the recovery room.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Sporting Gijon and Real Oviedo. In their last meeting at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero Elche defeated Albacete 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Agus Medina is banned for the match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Alicante.
Highlighted Team (Elche):
Established in 1923, Elche is a Spanish club that competes in La Liga. Los Franjiverdes welcome their rivals at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, the stadium which can hold up to 33,732 spectators. The venue was opened on September 8, 1976.
Elche wear white shirts with green stripe and white shorts when playing at home, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey. The club’s biggest success came in 1969 as Elche made it to the Copa del rey final. Los Franjiverdes faced Club Atletico de Bilbao in the Spanish Cup final, with the Basques winning the match by one goal to nil.
The likes of Mario Pasalic, Ivan Bolado, Garry Rodrigues, Goran Djorovic, Albert Nadj, Wakaso, Moha, Carlos Sanchez, Ioan Andone, Enzo Roco, Dominique Malonga, Richmond Boakye, and Sory Kaba are some of the notable players who were part of the team in the past. Elche have never represented Spain in European competitions.
