Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Racing Santander will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Levante and Burgos when they take on Albacete on Matchday 35. Santander aim to escape the danger zone, and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at El Queso Mecanico. Inigo Vicente is banned for the match, while fellow forward Jordi Mboula misses out with a hip injury.
Albacete, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth. El Queso Mecanico are on a four-match winless run in the Spanish second tier, and seeing that they are desperate to get back on course as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Defender Diegui misses out with an ACL injury, while there are no suspended players in the away team.
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.
