Elche
Cartagena welcome Elche in an eagerly-awaited Segunda Division clash, with the home side desperate to put an end to their current slump. Los Blanquinegros are on a three-game losing run, and their form has been disappointing. While they have no fresh injury concerns, their poor performances in recent weeks suggest a home win should not be considered this time out.
Elche, on the other hand, head into the midweek game on a high after defeating Sporting Gijon at the weekend. Los Franjiverdes will be full of confidence and look to take advantage of Cartagena’s shaky defence. With only Josan and Carlos Clerc missing from their squad, Elche are expected to field a strong lineup, aiming to secure back-to-back wins in La Liga 2. In the last meeting at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova, Elche edged Cartagena 1-0, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the visiting team.
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.
