Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Eldense will be aiming to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Mirandes when they take on Cartagena in the La Liga 2 round 31. Eldense are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win at Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Friday’s encounter.
Los Blanquinegros, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Ferrol. Cartagena are only four points clear of the relegation zone, but given Eldense’s fine home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. The fact that important Cartagena defender Pedro Alcala misses the game through suspension goes in favour of our earlier betting prediction.
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.
