FC Cartagena come into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw at Eldense in the Segunda Division last weekend. It was a match FC Cartagena were hoping to win to close the gap on the teams in midtable but they could not breakdown the visitors defence.
The draw with Eldense means FC Cartagena have won only 1 of their 4 most recent fixtures, all of which have been played in the Segunda Division.
The victory came at home over Racing Ferrol but there have been defeats against Elche at home and Burgos away in the league.
The statistics show FC Cartagena are unbeaten in 9 of their last 11 games in all competitions. They have a good recent home record in the Segunda Division and have won 4 of their last 5 home league fixtures.
The wins have come over Villarreal II, Amorebieta, Mirandes, and Racing Ferrol. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 3 of FC Cartagena’s last 4 home league matches.
FC Andorra travel to the Estadio Municipal Cartagonova having lost 1-0 at home to Amorebieta in the Segunda Division last weekend.
The game was close and it seemed like the match was going to end level but the visitors scored in the 88th minute to take maximum points.
The defeat to Amorebieta means FC Andorra have won only 1 of their last 10 competitive fixtures, with all those games being played in the league.
The victory came at home against Real Valladolid but there have been 6 defeats in their last 10 Segunda Division matches.
Trends show FC Andorra are on a poor run of just 4 wins in 25 league games. They have failed to win any of their last 15 away matches in the Segunda Division and have failed to score a goal in each of their last 6 league fixtures on the road.
Team news and FC Cartagena have no injury or suspension concerns ahead of this match, so should be at full strength.
FC Andorra have two players unavailable, with Martí Vilà and Christos Albanis in the treatment room.
The away form of FC Andorra means that predictive analytics suggests only one outcome for this game.
We expect to see FC Cartagena come out on top, keeping a clean sheet in the process, and moving further clear of FC Andorra in the battle at the bottom of the table.
