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

21:30
Prediction: 1-2
Levante
Cartagena will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Eldense and Andorra when they welcome Levante to their Estadio Municipal Cartagonova in the La Liga 2 round 3. The Black and Whites made a slow start to the season and, no doubt, they are desperate to give fans some cheer this weekend. Ivan Ayllon is pushing for a start after scoring a consolation goal against Andorra, whilst defender Pedro Alcala misses out with a knee injury.
Los Levantinos, meanwhile, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Burgos. The visitors have a chance to climb to the automatic-promotion places and we predict that they will take advantage of Cartagena’s shaky defence. All Robert Ibanez, Jose Campana, and Pablo Martinez are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. In their last encounter at the venue Levante defeated Cartagena 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (José Campaña):
Jose Campana is a Spanish footballer who plays for Levante in La Liga as a midfielder. Born in Seville on May 31, 1993, Campana began his youth career in his home-town club Sevilla and he eventually played 20 games in La Liga for the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan outfit.
In 2013 he moved to England, signing a contract with Crystal Palace, but he made no more than six appearances in the league for the capital club. After ending his loan spell with Nurnberg in 2014, Jose Campana joined Serie A side Sampdoria, but he was immediately sent on loan to Porto. The Spanish midfielder played no more than two games for Porto in Primeira Liga and in 2015 he signed a loan deal with Spanish Segunda Division side Alcorcon.
In the summer of 2016 Campana moved to Levante and he has been playing for los Levantinos ever since. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder as well.
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.
