Albacete take on the visitors Racing Santander in the round 17 match of Spanish LaLiga2.. The match will be played on Saturday, November 26th at Estadio Carlos Belmonte (Albacete).
Albacete returned to the Segunda after a year-long hiatus. "Clockwork cheese" in the 90s of the last century and at the beginning of this century spent many years in the Example. But, having taken off in 2005, the team did not climb so high again. Moreover, in 2021, after 4 years of performances in the Segunda, they fell even lower. It turned out to return immediately, but through the playoffs, as the team was only 3rd in their group. In such conditions, nothing was expected from a newcomer except for a difficult and not necessarily successful struggle for survival. And they took advantage of this, taking 10 points in the first 4 rounds, and in the fall, giving out an 8-match unbeaten streak. But both last matches "Alba", as if having calmed down, finished with defeats: 2-3 at home with Levante, 0-4 on the field of Granada.

Racing will again try to gain a foothold in this division. The "Verdiblancos" until 2012, almost without exception, spent 2 decades in the Primera. And even got to the semi-finals of the Cup and a test of strength in the European Cup arena. But then there was a sharp drop: 2 reductions in the class in a row, up to the 3rd division of the country. The representative of Sandander mostly hangs out there. There were 2 attempts to break out, but both times the stay in the Segunda was minimal, one season each time. But, having relegated again, Racing won its group last season. And so far he has pretty good statistics in the Segunda: 4 wins and 18 points in 16 matches. It is embarrassing that after an impressive streak in the form of a 7-match unbeaten streak, there was a home defeat to Burgos.
The clubs last crossed paths in the Segunda as part of the 2019/2020 draw. Then Albacete did better: 0-0 at home, 2-1 on the road. Racing is quite stable, and a misfire with Burgos looks like an exception. We bet that the visitors will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Racing Santander to win with +0.5 handicap (X2).
