Cartagena hosts Girona in round 42 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, May 30th at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova (Cartagena)
Cartagena is a newcomer to Segunda. A year earlier, the club had gained promotion. The 2020/2021 season turned out to be difficult, but the team managed to maintain its place in the second strongest division of Spanish football. With one round to go to the end of the championship, the Black-and-Whites are on the 16th line of the standings, having an advantage over the relegation zone by four points. In the previous round, the 3-match winning streak was interrupted. Luis Carrion's men lost to a more motivated opponent, Lugo (2-1). Before that, the players of FC Cartagena beat the leader Espanyol (0-2), who had previously secured a ticket to the highest division.

Girona played in LaLiga two years ago, but unsuccessful results threw the team to Segunda. It took the club only two seasons to get close to the highest division again. To date, as many as three teams have scored the same number of points — 70 points each for Girona, Leganes, and Almeria. The aforementioned teams will play in the playoff round, where they will compete for reaching the top league. The men of Francisco Rodriguez showed a very successful ending to the season. Girona won seven consecutive matches with a total score of 12-1. A successful streak allowed the team to rise to the TOP-5 of the current Segunda season.
In theory, everything is simple. Cartagena is a team that does not solve any problems in the last round of the 2020/21 season. The footballers are not very motivated. They are already on vacation with their thoughts. Girona is a tough and unyielding team that strives to quickly return to Primera. The Catalans are in excellent shape and have been conceding a little lately. Let's recall the result of the first part of the championship as well. In the ninth round, the White and Reds won 2-1 at home. We think a more motivated opponent will have more chances for victory, but it’s better to add a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Girona to win with 0.0 handicap
