Prediction: 2-1
Castellon
Albacete will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Tenerife and Zaragoza when they take on Castellon in the Segunda Division round 18. El Queso Mecanico have found their best form of late, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to climb to the playoffs berth. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be winger Alberto Quiles, who scored the winner from the penalty spot against los Blanquillos. Jaume Costa remains doubtful for the home side.
Los Albinegros, on the other hand, defeated Malaga at home in their last league match, but beating Albacete on the road is easier said than done. Considering that Alberto Gonzalez’s men are brimming with confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts. Both Oscar Gil and Jesus de Miguel are sidelined with injuries for the home side, while both Jetro Willems and Alex Calatrava will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
