Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Albacete will be eager to put an end to their four-game winless run when they host Real Oviedo in the final match of La Liga 2 round 14. "El Queso Mecanico" have struggled recently, their confidence dented by a shocking Copa del Rey exit to lower-league side CE Europa. To make matters worse, the hosts are battling injuries, with Fidel, Lazo, and Marin confirmed out and Costa a major doubt, limiting their options.
Real Oviedo, meanwhile, come into this clash following an impressive 3-1 victory over Burgos, which kept them in the playoff race. Although Los Azulones are also facing injury issues, with Lemos, Pomares, Seoane, and Costas sidelined, they are surely capable of matching the out-of-form hosts. Albacete’s recent form and injury concerns suggest that Oviedo may have the upper hand here. Taking everything into account, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from Sunday's clash.
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.
