Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cartagena and Almeria face each other at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova in what is expected to be an exciting Segunda Division game. Los Blanquinegros aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Huesca and a triumph over Almeria should see them move closer to the safe zone. Both Izquierdo and Teguia are major doubts after the duo limped off with injuries in the last league match.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team winning each of their last three games in all competitions. As Almeria are more of a team that the rock-bottom hosts, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on the visitors. To make things even better for the away team, Dion Lopy is back from suspension. Fellow midfielder Lucas Robertone remains on the sidelines with injury.
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.
