Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Leganes
Match Time & Date:

12:30 PM
Prediction: 0-1
Cartagena
Leganes play host to Cartagena at their Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Matchday 34. The capital club suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league fixtures, and they must be low on confidence ahead of the visit of Cartagena. Daniel Raba has joined fellow forward Juan Munoz in the recovery room, while Fede Vico misses the match through suspension.
Cartagena, meanwhile, quickly bounced back from a 5-2 loss to Villarreal B, with the team beating Lugo in front of home fans. The Black and Whites are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we predict that they will take advantage of the current atmosphere in Leganes’ dressing room. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Madrid, with important defender Pedro Alcala nearing full fitness.
Highlighted Player (Allan Nyom):
After playing amateur football in his homeland France, Allan Nyom began his professional career at Arles-Avignon. The pacey full back made 37 appearances for the club in the 2008/2009 season and at the end of the campaign he signed a deal with Serie A side Udinese. However, given the great collaboration between Udinese and Granada, he was immediately sent on loan to the Estadio Nuevo los Carmenes outfit.
Granada finished the 2009/2010 season in top position in the Segunda Division and, as a result, they secured automatic promotion to the Spanish top flight. Allan Nyom established himself as a first-team regular and it has to be noted that he made 32 appearances for los Granadinos in the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign. After spending five seasons at Granada, Nyom joined Watford in 2015 and he moved to fellow Premier League side WBA at the end of the season.
The WBA defender represents Cameroon on the international stage and he made his debut for Les Lions Indomptables on November 11, 2011.
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.
