Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cartagena
Match Time & Date:
26/09/2022
21:00
Prediction: 1-1
Alaves
Monday’s clash between Cartagena and Deportivo Alaves will bring down the curtain on day 7 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. The Black and Whites head into the match following back-to-back wins over Albacete and Levante, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Alaves. Experienced forward Alfredo Ortuno, who limped off with injury in the last league fixture, is unlikely to feature against the Basque outfit.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the standings. The league leaders are eyeing their third consecutive win, but given Cartagena’s current form, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. There are no fresh selection worries in the away side ahead of the Segunda Division derby. The two teams meet for the first time ever in the Spanish second tier.
Highlighted Player (Antonio Luna):
Antonio Luna is a product of Sevilla football academy. The pacey left back was born in Son Servera, Spain on March 17, 1991 and he made his senior debut with Sevilla B. Antonio Luna made 32 appearances in the league for the reserve team, while playing 21 games for los Sevillanos in the Spanish top flight.
After ending his loan spell with Mallorca in 2013, Luna moved to England and signed a three-year deal with Aston Villa. It has to be noted that the Spanish footballer found the net for the Villans on his Premier League debut in a 3-1 win over Arsenal. After making 17 appearances in the English elite division for the Villa Park outfit, he returned to Spain in 2015, signing a deal with Eibar.
Antonio Luna scored one goal in 41 appearances for los Armeros before joining fellow La liga side Levante in 2017. You should know that Luna has five caps for Spain U20 team.
Highlighted Team (Alaves):
Alaves is a Spanish football club located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava. The club were founded in 1921 and they play their home games at Estadio Mendizorrotza. The capacity of the stadium is 19,840 and it has to be noted that it is the third oldest stadium in Spanish football. After spending several years in the Spanish Segunda Division, los Babazorros returned to the top flight in 2016.
The color of Alaves’ home kit is blue and white and the club’s local rivals are fellow Basque sides Real Sociedad, Athletic Club, Osasuna and Eibar. Alaves made it to the UEFA CUP final in 2001, but they were beaten by Liverpool 5-4 in a thrilling football clash. Anyhow, that is still regarded as the club’s biggest success. Los Babazorros booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on four occasions and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy.
