Prediction: 0-1
Lugo
Cartagena play host to Lugo at their Estadio Municipal Cartagonova in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 encounter. Following back-to-back wins over Zaragoza and Real Sociedad B, the Black and Whites suffered a 2-0 loss to Real Oviedo in their last league match. Cartagena have been playing some low-scoring games of late, and it has to be noted that there have been under 2.5 goals in each of their last four league fixtures.
Lugo, on the other hand, recorded a 3-2 win over Huesca in their last league match, with the team climbing to 14th place in the standings. The visitors are brimming with confidence following their first win of the season, and we predict that they will take advantage of Cartagena’s poor form. In their last meeting in the Spanish second tier Lugo recorded a 2-1 win over Cartagena.
