Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadi Municipal de Can Misses will host Sunday’s football game between Ibiza and Cartagena, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Ibiza are running down a blind alley, and, as things stand now, they will find it hard to secure the La Liga 2 survival. The rock-bottom side extended their losing run to four games at Granada, and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered.
Armando Shashoua is no longer part of the team, with both Goldar and Villar living the club as well, but Lucas Alcaraz has no fresh injury worries. La Cebra, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form as well, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Since Ibiza want this win more than Cartagena, we are tempted to put our money on the rock-bottom side. Both Jairo Izquierdo and Damian Musto are banned for the match, speaking of the away side.
Highlighted Player (Antonio Luna):
Antonio Luna is a product of Sevilla football academy. The pacey left back was born in Son Servera, Spain on March 17, 1991 and he made his senior debut with Sevilla B. Antonio Luna made 32 appearances in the league for the reserve team, while playing 21 games for los Sevillanos in the Spanish top flight.
After ending his loan spell with Mallorca in 2013, Luna moved to England and signed a three-year deal with Aston Villa. It has to be noted that the Spanish footballer found the net for the Villans on his Premier League debut in a 3-1 win over Arsenal. After making 17 appearances in the English elite division for the Villa Park outfit, he returned to Spain in 2015, signing a deal with Eibar.
Antonio Luna scored one goal in 41 appearances for los Armeros before joining fellow La liga side Levante in 2017. You should know that Luna has five caps for Spain U20 team.
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.
