Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat will host Sunday’s La Liga 2 game between Eldense and Albacete, the two bottom-table sides. Eldense experienced a downturn in their performance, enduring losses in their past four league matches. Nonetheless, their Segunda Division position remains secure. Dario Simic misses the match through suspension, while fellow defender Miguelon is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone and given their fine performance in a 1-0 win over Tenerife, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon. Midfielder Riki Rodriguez (suspension) should be the only absentee in the visiting team this time out.
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.
