Prediction: 1-0
Albacete
Lugo and Albacete go head to head in a highly-anticipated game at Estadio Anxo Carro on Matchday 12. Lugo aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Espanyol, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground. Since they outplayed the likes of Girona and Rayo Vallecano in the previous two home fixtures, it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping.
Albacete, on the other hand, do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team failing to win the previous three league fixtures. The visitors had no more than six goal attempts in the goalless draw with Leganes, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on los Luguenos. In their last encounter at Estadio Anxo Carro Lugo defeated Albacete thanks to Cristian Herrera’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.
