Prediction: 1-1
Gijon
Sunday’s football game at Estadio Carlos Belmonte pits together Albacete and Sporting Gijon, the two sides sitting in the opposite halves of the table. El Queso Mecanico aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Almeria and they are likely to go all guns blazing at los Rojiblancos. All Higinio Marin, Jose Carlos Lazo, and Jaume Costa are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Sporting Gijon, on the other hand, have recorded four wins in the previous five league matches. Los Rojiblancos, though, have been having their ups and downs on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Defender Eric Curbelo remains on the sidelines with injury for the away team. It has to be noted, though, that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four meetings between the two sides.
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.
