Prediction: 2-1
Malaga
Saturday’s football game at Estadio Carlos Belmonte pits together Albacete and Malaga, the two teams sitting in the danger zone. El Queso Mecanico suffered a 1-0 loss to Burgos on Monday evening, but it has to be noted that Fidel failed to convert a penalty kick midway through the first half. The veteran forward should keep his place in the starting XI despite the miss, while the likes of Costa, Rai, Marin, Rivero, and Rueda remain in the treatment room.
Los Boquerones, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Cadiz, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on Albacete this time out. All Abaida, Enriquez, Lorenzo, and Molina are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, whereas both Luismi and Monte are back from suspension. In their last meeting at “Carlos Belmonte”, Albacete defeated Malaga 3-2.
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.
