Cartagena
After sharing the spoils with Sporting Gijon at the weekend, Eldense will look to return to winning ways in La Liga 2 when they take on Cartagena in round 3. Los Azulgranas defeated Tenerife 2-1 in their first home game of the season, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Los Blanquinegros, on the other hand, failed to make a flying start to the season and given their poor defensive displays in back-to-back defeats to Burgos (1-3) and Zaragoza (1-2), home win should definitely be considered. In their last encounter in Segunda Division the two sides played out a goalless draw and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon. Midfielder Jose Luis Munoz is widely expected to return to Cartagena’s starting line-up after coming as a substitute in the last league fixture.
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.
