Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Racing Ferrol will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Cartagena in the La Liga round 22. The Galicians suffered a dip in form, but they are still seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Alvaro Gimenez is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Blanquinegros, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four games in all competitions. As Cartagena are on a seven-game losing run on the road, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. In the first half of the season, Ferrol defeated Cartagena 1-0, with aforementioned forward Gimenez scoring the only goal of the match. Uruguay attacker Gaston Valles is widely expected to return to Cartagena’s starting XI.

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.
