Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio El Plantio will host Sunday’s football game between Burgos and Albacete, the two teams who were beaten by Leganes and Alcorcon respectively at the weekend. Burgos have turned their stadium into a real fortress, with the team eyeing their 8th home win of the process. Experienced forward Eduardo David Espiau Hernandez is pushing for a start, while both Daniel Ojeda and Ariel Saveljich are sidelined with injuries.
El Queso Mecanico, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form in La Liga 2, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Given Albacete’s poor display in a 1-0 loss to Alcorcon, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. As for the away team, defender Carlos Isaac is a major doubt and he 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.
