Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cartagena and Zaragoza square off against each other at Estadio Municipal de Cartagonova in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 encounter. Cartagena aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Burgos, but they will have a big fish to fry against los Blanquillos. Uruguay forward Gaston Valles is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Zaragoza, on the other hand, rolled over Cadiz 4-0 in the opening match of their Segunda Division campaign. As Cartagena struggled defensively at Burgos, we predict that the visitors are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate. Goalkeeper Joan Femenias is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the triumph over Cadiz, with Gaetan Poussin being ready to step up. In their last meeting in the Spanish second tier Cartagena defeated Zaragoza 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
