Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Albacete will be aiming to secure the La Liga 2 survival when they take on fellow relegation strugglers Mirandes in the penultimate game of the season. El Queso Mecanico have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning five of their last six league games while sharing the spoils with Villarreal B. As there are no fresh injury worries, we predict that hosts are going to grab something from Sunday’s encounter.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches. Mirandes are only one point clear of the relegation zone, meaning that this match is of big importance for Alessio Lisci’s troops. Given Albacete’s excellent form, though, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from the Estadio Carlos Belmonte showdown. Pablo Ramon should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Albacete):
Established during the World War II (August, 1940), Albacete are a Spanish club that welcome their rivals at Carlos Belmonte, the stadium with the capacity of 17,524 people. Albacete compete in Segunda Division nowadays, but during the 1990s they established themselves as the La Liga regular.
Their best ranking in the Spanish top flight came in the 1991/92 season when they finished the campaign in 7th position in the standings. El Queso Mecanico (Clockwork Cheese) have never represented Spain in European competitions. Legendary Spain international Andres Iniesta is the symbol of the club. Born in Albacete, Iniesta helped his hometown club avoid the bankruptcy in December 2011 as he became the club’s major shareholder.
As a result, Iniesta was honoured with a statue in his home province of Albacete. El Queso Mecanico wear white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, while black and purple are the dominant colours of their away kit.
