Espanyol vs Cartagena Prediction, Picks and Tips

Espanyol arrives chaining a streak of 15 consecutive games without losing in the Second Division (9 wins and 6 draws), an excellent unbeaten dynamic in which we can highlight that it comes from drawing away from home against Zaragoza (0-0) after having defeated Malaga (3-0) and Las Palmas (4-0). As a local, Espanyol has not lost in their last 7 games (6 wins and 1 draw), results that keep them at the top of the standings and with the direct promotion to the First Division already achieved. Therefore, his objective now is to be the champion of the Second Division and for this he needs to continue scoring by taking 6 points ahead of Mallorca (2nd). Regarding the line-up, Espanyol will have the casualties of Miguel Llambrich [operated on the anterior rectum] and Raul De Tomas [indisposition]; as well as the question of Landry Dimata [discomfort not determined].

Cartagena arrives without having lost in 5 of its last 6 Second Division matches (3 wins and 2 draws), a good dynamic in which it has managed to beat Castellon (1-0), Logrones (0-1) and Alcorcon (2-1), in which they have drawn at home against Tenerife (0-0) and away against Sabadell (1-1), and in which they have only lost against Fuenlabrada (2-1). As a visitor, Cartagena has lost in 4 of its last 7 games (1 victory and 2 draws), results that have allowed it to escape from the relegation places but with the need to win to stay out, since it is with 1 point advantage over Logrones (19th) and 2 over Sabadell (20th). Regarding the line-up, Cartagena will have the casualties of Alberto De La Bella [partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament], Cristian Lopez [partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament] and Giorgi Aburjania [accumulation of cards]; as well as the doubt of David Simon [muscular discomfort].
