Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Municipal de Santo Domingo will be centre of attention when Alcorcon and Espanyol square off against each other in the La Liga 2 round 30. Los Alfareros are sitting in the relegation zone and their poor defensive display in a 3-0 loss to Elche is not giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Ivory Coast forward Emmanuel Addai is pushing for a recall, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Los Periquitos, on the other hand, are eager to climb to the automatic promotion berth and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Alcorcon’s dressing room. Even though all Pol Lozano, Fernando Calero, Eduardo Exposito, and Nico Melamed miss out with injuries, we are tempted to place our bets on the promotion-chasing Catalan outfit. Earlier this season Espanyol defeated Alcorcon 2-0 at Stage Front Stadium.
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.
