Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sunday’s football game at Lezama Facilities pits together Amorebieta and Albacete, the two bottom-table sides. Amorebieta are stuck at the bottom with only 20 points in their pockets, but this match could be the turning point for Jandro Castro’s troops. The 44-year-old has a luxury to field the best possible side against El Queso Mecanico. The visitors, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Racing Santander and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence.
As Albacete are eager to move away from the danger zone, we predict that they are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter as well. Defender Cristian Glauder serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting side. In their last meeting at the venue, back in 2016, Albacete defeated Amorebieta thanks to Aridane’s goal.
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.
