Prediction: 2-0
Lugo
Cartagena and Lugo face each other at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova in the opening match of La Liga 2 round 33. Los Boquerones suffered a heavy 5-2 loss to Villarreal B at the weekend, with the team dropping to 9th place in the standings. Cartagena have been struggling at the back of late, but home win should be considered as they are desperate to stay in the playoffs race. Keep in mind, though, that both Vazquez Perez and Marcelo Musto are banned for the match, while Jairo Izquierdo remains in the recovery room.
Los Albivermellos, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 25 points on their account. Since Lugo have already suffered eleven defeats on the road this season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. Midfielder Xavi Torres misses out through suspension for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Kiko Olivas):
Kiko Olivas is an experienced Spanish defender, who was born in Antequera on August 21, 1988. Olivas started his youth career at Malaga and he continued playing for los Boquerones at senior level. The 189-cm tall centre-back made 5 appearances for Malaga in La Liga before joining fellow Spanish side Villarreal. Kiko Olivas made only 6 appearances for the Yellow Submarine in the Spanish elite division, but he played over 140 games for Villarreal B in Segunda Division.
Olivas played for the likes of Cordoba, Sabadell and Girona as well before joining Real Valladolid. La Pucela impressed in the 2017/2018 Segunda Division campaign and, as a result, they secure promotion to the Spanish top flight.
Kiko Olivas has 4 caps for Spain U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. His preferred foot is right and it has to be noted that his contract with Real Valladolid should expire on June 30, 2020.

Based in the autonomous community of Galicia, CD Lugo is a Spanish football club that plays in Segunda Division.
