Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cartagena will be aiming to bounce back from their poor form when they face Cadiz at Estadio Cartagonova. Los Blanquinegros have been struggling in La Liga 2 of late, but have no fresh injury concerns, which should boost their confidence. Their last encounter with Cadiz ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat, highlighting their challenge against the in-form visitors.
Cadiz head into the match after a convincing 3-1 away victory over Castellon and are unbeaten in their last four league matches. Despite injuries to key players like Luis Hernandez, Carlos Fernandez, Oscar Melendo, and Jorge Mere, they’ve shown resilience and tactical discipline. Their solid defensive structure and effective counter-attacks make them tough opponents. With both teams fighting for valuable points, this match promises to be an exciting La Liga 2 contest. Cadiz’s recent form and psychological edge from their last victory over Cartagena make them slight favorites, and they’ll be looking to extend their unbeaten run and keep on climbing the standings.
