Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cartagena and Ferrol square off against each other at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 encounter. Los Blanquinegros failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to relegation-threatened Tenerife, but they are surely capable of matching Ferrol in front of home fans. Midfielder Damian Musto serves a one-game ban, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Galicians, on the other hand, defeated Elche at home thanks to Eneko Jauregi’s goal, but beating Cartagena on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Brais Martinez and Erick Cabaco are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team, while Luis Perea Hernandez faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s La Liga 2 encounter.
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.
