Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sunday’s football game at Estadio El Alcoraz pits together Huesca and Albacete, the two teams who are sitting in the opposite halves of the table. Huesca are eager to overtake Santander in top position in the standings and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach after scoring seven goals in total in the last two home games. Defender Jorge Pulido is banned for the match, while midfielder Javi Perez misses out with a shoulder injury.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, are sitting in 15th place in the standings ahead of the trip to Aragon. As Albacete have been having their ups and downs on the road this season, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Defender Jaume Costa is injured for the visiting side, while both Antonio Pacheco and Javi Villar will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
