Prediction: 1-0
Oviedo
Estadio Municipal Cartagonova will host Friday’s La Liga 2 game between Cartagena and Oviedo, the two teams who sit in the middle of the table. Cartagena did well to crush Eibar in the Basque Country (3-0) on Matchday 28, with the team producing one of their best displays of the season. Los Albinegros are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Azulones. Ivan Martos suffered an injury in the last league match, with Pedro Alcala likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Burgos, and seeing that Cartagena are desperate to keep their playoffs hopes alive, home win should be considered. Both Jimmy and Sergi Enrich are banned for the visitors, while the likes of Borja Baston, David Costas, Pomares, and Javi Mier are sidelined with injuries.
