Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cartagena
Match Time & Date:

18:30
Prediction: 0-2
Elche
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Mirandes and Zaragoza, Cartagena will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Elche on Sunday afternoon. Defender Jairo Izquierdo is sidelined through suspension, while Jony Alamo is widely expected to replace Tomas Alarcon in the starting XI. All Jairo Izquierdo, Damian Musto, and Tomas Alarcon are banned for the match, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Eibar. Elche are eager to climb to the playoffs berth and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Cartagena’s dressing room. Even though boss Sebastian Beccacece will watch the game from the stands due to suspension, we are tempted to place our bets on the promotion-chasing visitors.
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.
