Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
With almost a third of the season's matches already played, the ambitions of each team are becoming clearer. Today’s opponents will be fighting for points until the very last round to remain in the division, as both teams are clear outsiders.
Cartagena
The team have managed victories in only two of their eight opening fixtures, but the situation isn't as dire as it seems at first glance. Yes, their defence is in disarray, having conceded 13 goals in 8 matches, but it’s important to note that they have scored in five of those games, providing hope for earning points.
Racing de Ferrol
The visitors are in a similar position, with just one win in the league, alongside three draws. On a positive note, there is clear progress in their attacking play, with three of their five league goals scored in the last three matches.
Cartagena vs Racing de Ferrol Prediction
The teams met twice last season, with Racing de Ferrol scoring in both encounters — winning 2:1 and drawing 1:1. Given the statistics above, where the hosts concede an average of one goal per game and the visitors have been consistently finding the net in recent rounds, it seems likely that this trend will continue — Racing Ferrol should score.
