Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Albacete and Amorebieta square off against each other at Estadio Carlos Belmonte in the La Liga 2 round 2. El Queso Mecanico played out a 1-1 draw with promotion candidates Espanyol in their opener, but it has to be noted that Manuel Fuster failed to convert two penalty kicks. Albacete are eager to register their first win of the season and Sunday’s game seems like a good opportunity for Ruben Albes’ troops to do so. Forward Christos Albanis misses out with a knee injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Amorebieta, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Levante. Los Azules, though, are not considered good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on the home team. In their last encounter at the venue Albacete defeated Amorebieta 1-0.
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.
