Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sunday’s football game at Estadi Nacional pits together Andorra and Albacete, the two bottom-table sides. Andorra are stuck at the bottom of the table, five points behind the safe zone, meaning that they are desperate to pick up all three points from the match. Diego Gonzalez has overcome his injury, while fellow defender Diego Alende remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. Albacete footballers are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Andorra la Valle, but seeing that both Juan Antonio Rios and Bernabe Barragan are banned for the match, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. Midfielder Mohamed Djetei remains on the sidelines with a muscle injury. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous four meetings between the two sides.
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.
