Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cartagena and Deportivo La Coruna face each other at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Los Blanquinegros have regained a much-needed confidence thanks to the Copa del Rey win over Beasain and they are now on a quest to put an end to their five-game winless run in La Liga 2. Forward Cedric Teguia is pushing for a start, while defender Kiko Olivas remains in the recovery room.
The Galicians, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Levante and Racing Santander. Deportivo La Coruna suffered a dip in form and given their recent struggles at the back, we believe that the time has come for Cartagena to return to winning ways in Segunda Division. Yeremay Hernandez should sneak into Deportivo’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute against los Racinguistas.
Highlighted Team (Cartagena):
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. It has to be noted that Cartagena have never competed in la liga. The club’s highest ranking in the Segunda Division came in the 2009/10 season when they finished the campaign in 5th position in the standings.
