Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Leganes will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Cartagena in the Segunda Division round 33. The capital club are on the right track to secure automatic La Liga promotion, but head coach Borja Jimenez must warn his men against complacency. Defender Sergio Gonzalez is banned for the match, while midfielder Jorge Miramon is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Los Albinegros, on the other hand, are safe for now, with the team sitting in 16th place in the standings. As Leganes want this win more than Cartagena, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Madrid. Despite failing to find the net in the previous two league matches, Dario Poveda will continue to lead the line for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Leganes):
Leganes are a Spanish football club that have mostly been playing in lower leagues. Los Pepineros play their home games at Batarque (Madrid) and the capacity of the stadium is just 8,138. Leganes secured their promotion to the Spanish La Liga for the first time ever in 2016 and, no doubt, that is considered the club’s biggest success.
Leganes’ bitterest rivals are fellow capital club Getafe and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the South Madrid derby.
The colour of the team’s home kit is white and blue, whilst their away kits are green. The likes of Pierre Webo, Samuel Eto’o, Ivan Zarandona, Jose Chamot, Catanha, Ruben Falcon, Jordi Lardin and Pedro Lago are famous players who were part of the Batarque outfit in the past. Lady Maria Victoria Pavon is the first female president in the history of the club and she has been in charge of the club since 2009.
