Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Municipal Cartagonova will host Sunday’s La Liga 2 game between Cartagena and Eibar, the two promotion-chasing sides. Los Albinegros aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Cartagena, with the team eyeing their fifth home win of the process. Defender Pedro Alcala is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Los Armeros, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main candidates to secure promotion to Primera Division, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to meet the goal. Defender Antonio Rios is sidelined with a tendon injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. As always, a man to watch in the visiting side will be Stoichkov, who has netted five goals this term. Since Cartagena are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw.
