Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Municipal Cartagonova will host Saturday’s football game between Cartagena and Alcorcon. Los Boquerones are eyeing their third consecutive league win and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in the round 38 clash. Julian Calero has a luxury to field the best possible side against Alcorcon. Los Alfareros are eager to escape the relegation zone, but given their poor away record in the 2023/2024 Segunda Division campaign, home win should be considered.
Defender Morillas Jimenez is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. As for the visiting team, Iago Lopez serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in a goalless draw with Eldense, whereas Morillas Jimenez is rated doubtful for the match. In the first half of the season the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon.
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.
