Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
After failing to spoil Espanyol’s party in Barcelona, Alcorcon will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Elche in the Segunda Division round 18. Los Alfareros aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and we predict that they will leave their hearts on the field. Victor Garcia misses the match through suspension, while both Javi Perez and Jean-Sylvain Babin remain on the sidelines with injuries. Juanma Bravo faces race against clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Amorebieta. As Elche have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. Raul Guti is sidelined with a thigh injury, while fellow midfielder John Donald Chetauya is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Team (Alcorcon):
Founded on July 20, 1971, Alcorcon have been competing in Segunda Division since the 2010/11 season. Los Alfareros welcome their rivals at Santo Domingo, the stadium opened in 1999. The venue has the capacity of 5,100 people. Alcorcon have made it to the Segunda Division playoffs on several occasions, but they have never participated in La Liga.
The club’s biggest success in Copa del rey came in the 2009/10 season when they made it to the last 16 of the prestigious competition. Alcorcon suffered a 3-2 (on agg.) loss to Racing Santander in the round of 16. The club’s home colour is yellow, while their away kit is mainly blue.
Los Alfareros played their first official game on September 8, 1971, with the team losing 2-0 to Atletico Madrid youth team. The likes of Cordoba and Leganes are regarded as the club’s main rivals, while David Rodriguez is the club’s all-time top goalscorer.
