Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Eibar will look to stay in the automatic promotion race when they take on Cartagena in the La Liga 2 round 40. Los Insulares are eyeing their fifth consecutive win at home ground and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s showdown. Bautista Jon limped off with injury in a 2-2 draw with Levante, with Jose Corpas being ready to step up. Both Fernando Medrano and Waldo Rubio are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Los Blanquinegros, on the other hand, have been producing fine performances in the season finale, with the team winning each of their last four league matches. Despite their fine form, away win should not be considered as the visitors are stuck in the middle of the table. Julian Calero has a luxury to field the best possible side against Eibar.
