Draw
Malaga have been quite poor in most of the recent matches apart from in the draw with Real Zaragoza. After having seen Cartagena suffer defeats in three consecutive league matches, Malaga will feel slightly confident about their chances of success at home for the first time since November. However, both teams are struggling for a sharp decline in confidence. Both are likely to struggle throughout the 90 minutes and end up getting a share of the spoils.
Total goals under 2.5
The last six matches show Malaga and Cartagena as one of the poorest teams in the league with an average of just a point per match or less. Cartagena have been able to get eight goals in this period while Malaga have only scored just three goals. Both teams are lacking confidence in the final third and they might continue their struggles.
Both teams to score – yes
Even though Malaga and Cartagena have ended up conceding a lot of goals – 10+ in the last six matches, they are unlikely to profit from playing against each other at a time when confidence in the squad is very low.
Malaga vs Cartagena: Segunda Division Match Preview and Team News
Malaga
Natxo González comes into the game while his team struggles to assert any kind of a form. After losing four out of the last five games, damage control might be the priority for Malaga, who have slipped to 17th place in the table. Luis Munoz, Genaro Rodríguez, and Juande Rivas are unavailable because of injury.
Cartagena
Cartagena have gone through a string of defeats that have put their promotion ambitions in a cloud of doubt. The likes of Las Palmas and Real Oviedo have been able to generate more momentum in recent weeks. One advantage for the Cartagena manager Luis Miguel Carrión will be the availability of a fully fit squad.
