Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Racing Ferrol will look to record their first win of the season when they take on Albacete in the La Liga 2 round 6. The Galicians failed to find the net in the previous four league matches and, no doubt, they are eager to put an end to the negative trend. Defender Moi should sneak into the starting XI as Brais Martinez limped off with injury in the goalless draw with Cadiz at the weekend. There are no other fresh injury worries in the home team.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, made a promising start to the season as they defeated Elche 1-0 in their opener, but they are on a three-game losing run ahead of the trip to Galicia. As both sides are determined to grab something from Saturday’s clash, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Riki Rodriguez is widely expected to return to Albacete’s starting XI.
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.
