Prediction: 1-1
Leganes
A spot in the Copa del Rey last 16 will be at stake when Cartagena and Leganes lock horns at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova on Sunday afternoon. Los Blanquinegros have been struggling to find their best form of late. Following back-to-back heavy defeats to Castellon and Granada, Cartagena shared the spoils with Albacete in their last league match, but they will have a mountain to climb against the La Liga outfit. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Leganes.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heavy 5-2 loss to Villarreal. Considering that Leganes footballers are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Cartagena, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Serbia defender Matija Nastasic limped off with injury, with Valentin Rosier likely to sneak into the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Leganes):
Leganes are a Spanish football club that have mostly been playing in lower leagues. Los Pepineros play their home games at Batarque (Madrid) and the capacity of the stadium is just 8,138. Leganes secured their promotion to the Spanish La Liga for the first time ever in 2016 and, no doubt, that is considered the club’s biggest success.
Leganes’ bitterest rivals are fellow capital club Getafe and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the South Madrid derby.
The colour of the team’s home kit is white and blue, whilst their away kits are green. The likes of Pierre Webo, Samuel Eto’o, Ivan Zarandona, Jose Chamot, Catanha, Ruben Falcon, Jordi Lardin and Pedro Lago are famous players who were part of the Batarque outfit in the past. Lady Maria Victoria Pavon is the first female president in the history of the club and she has been in charge of the club since 2009.
