In Albacete he faces his fourth consecutive season in the Second Division and on Saturday in Barcelona against Espanyol, he seeks to achieve a victory to break the spell that the La Mancha team has with the first day of the championship.
And it is that in the last three seasons, Albacete has not been able to start the League adding the three points, a statistic that wants to break in Catalan lands. In the 2017/2018 season, Albacete, after being promoted to the Second Division, debuted with a zero draw against Granada at the Cármenes stadium in a year in which the white team would end up achieving permanence on the last day.
In the 2018/2019 campaign, Albacete, led then by Luis Miguel Ramis, began the season with a one-goal draw against Deportivo de la Coruña at Carlos Belmonte in a year in which the La Mancha team came to play in the promotion playoff to First division.
In the past course, Albacete was defeated by a resounding 3-0 in Almería in a season in which the white team started with Ramis on the bench and later he was replaced by Lucas Alcaraz, who was finally able to stay with the white team, winning the last day in Cádiz.
On Saturday against one of the favorite teams for promotion to the First Division, Albacete will try to end this spell and be able to achieve a victory on the first day of the championship at the start of the 2020/2021 season.
