Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Castellon and Cartagena square off against each other at Estadio Municipal de Castalia on day 19 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. Castellon are enjoying a very successful season and a win over Cartagena will see them stay in the playoffs berth. Los Albinegros are eyeing their fourth home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Blanquinegros, on the other hand, are on a dreadful losing run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. With no fresh injury concerns to report, Jandro is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Sporting Gijon at the weekend. Gaston Valles should continue leading the line for the away side despite failing to find the net in the last league fixture.
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.
