Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Albacete and Cordoba face each other at Estadio Carlos Belmonte in the closing match of the La Liga 2 round 8. El Queso Mecanico suffered a heavy 5-2 loss to Deportivo La Coruna at the weekend, with the team dropping to the bottom half of the table. Jaume Costa is sidelined with injury, while both Antonio Pacheco and Javi Villar are major doubts. The Andalusians, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Ferrol, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered.
You should know that Cordoba have suffered a loss in each of their last three away games in the 2024/2025 La Liga 2 campaign. It has to be noted that in their last meeting at “Carlos Belmonte” Albacete outplayed Cordoba 3-0. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Castille.
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.
