Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sporting Gijon, Burgos will be aiming to climb to the playoffs berth when they take on Cartagena on Saturday evening. Bolo’s men continue with their habit of struggling on the travels, while producing excellent displays at home and you should know that they are on a four-game winning run at their Estadio El Plantio. Raul Navarro is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home side.
La Cebra failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Elche and given Burgos’ excellent home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Cartagena forward Ivan Ayllon limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Juan Carlos likely to replace him in the starting XI. Defender Gonzalo Verdu is sidelined through suspension.
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.
