On April 5, at the "Estadio Municipal Cartagonova", the 34th round of the Spanish Segunda will feature a match between "Cartagena" and "Eldense". I suggest betting on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Cartagena"
The team debuted in Segunda in 2009. Back then, they managed to perform quite well, maintaining themselves at an unfamiliar, higher level for three seasons. But then there was a setback, and only in 2020 did they manage to jump out of the third division again. They have held on in the country's second-strongest league since. Last spring, they finished in fourteenth place.
The regression continued into the new season, and now it looks frankly fatal. Lately, they couldn't manage to grab any points. With "Deportivo", after nine consecutive defeats, they at least secured a draw - but those 2-2 changed nothing. However, immediately with "Castellon", they repeated this score.
"Eldense"
The club seems to have existed for over a century, but they have never managed to break into La Liga. Moreover, they rarely played even in Segunda. After the late 50s and early 60s, there was a very long pause, and only in 2023, thanks to a second consecutive promotion, did the players reach the long-forgotten level again. They managed to finish in a reasonably high sixteenth place for "survival".
Currently, this team has also slipped, albeit not as critically as their opponent. They are still trying to survive, and there have been some fairly bright successes recently. But not in the last few rounds - a 0-0 with "Burgos" marked the third match without a win.
Match facts
- "Cartagena" lost in nine of the last sixteen matches
- On average, "Cartagena" scores 0.67 goals and concedes 1.82 goals per match
- "Eldense" lost to two of their last eight opponents
H2H
Last season, "Eldense" took four out of six possible points. But in September, they lost at home 1-2.
Cartagena vs Eldense Prediction
Bookmakers believe in the visitors, and this can be agreed upon - even a mid-table team should win against the main underdog (odds - 1.93).
