Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Following a shocking loss to lower-league side CD Estepona in the Copa del Rey, Malaga will look to get back on course in La Liga 2 round 14 when they face Cartagena on Matchday 14. Los Boquerones are eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in Segunda Division and are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against Cartagena. Both Carlos Puga and Manuel Molina return to the starting XI after coming off the bench in the Spanish Cup loss, while Haitam Abaida remains in the recovery room.
Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone with only seven points on their account. As Cartagena experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Deportivo La Coruna, we are tempted to put our money on Malaga this time out. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Andalusia.
