Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova when Cartagena and Real Valladolid take on each other in the La Liga 2 round 34. Los Blanquinegros are sitting in 16th position in the standings, six points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from Sunday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Valladolid.
La Pucela, meanwhile, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Given their eight-game winless run on the road, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. As for the away team, Ndiaye Diedhiou remains on the sidelines with a thigh problem. In the first half of the season Valladolid defeated Cartagena 1-0 and yet another low-scoring encounter is on the horizon.
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.
