Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
After failing to win the previous five league matches, Albacete will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Huesca on Matchday 33. El Queso Mecanico experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 1-1 draw with Ferrol, but they are surely capable of matching Huesca in front of home fans. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, midfielder Riki Rodriguez should be recalled to the starting XI.
Los Azulgranas, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 3-0 win over Burgos at the weekend. Huesca are eyeing their ninth consecutive clean sheet in Segunda Division and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Barring any fresh injury worries, Antonio Hidalgo is unlikely to make changes to the team that rolled over Huesca.
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.
