Prediction: 2-1
Cartagena
Monday’s football game at Estadio Anxo Carro pits together Lugo and Cartagena. The hosts are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail in the penultimate match of the season. Lugo have been struggling in the second half of the season, but the game against Cartagena could be the turning point for Luis Cesar Sampedro’s troops.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the Spanish second tier. Cartagena, though, have already secure the La Liga 2 survival, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home side. Attacker Alex Gallar, who suffered an injury in the 3-2 win over Almeria, is unlikely to feature against Lugo. This will be the first ever meeting between the two sides at Estadio Anxo Carro.

Founded on July 25, 1995, Cartagena is a Spanish football club that plays in La Liga 2. Los Boquerones dropped to Segunda B in the 2011/12 season, but following an eight-year absence, they returned to the Spanish second tier.
Cartagena play home matches at Cartagonova, the venue which can hold 15,105 spectators. The stadium was built by CMMP Arquitectos in 1987, and opened the following year. Real Murcia are regarded as the club’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derbi of the Region of Murcia. Toche is leading Cartagena’s all-time top goalscoring chart with 39 goals.
Los Boquerones are well known for their black shirts with white stripes. Red, on the other hand, is the dominant colour of the club’s away kit.
