Cartagena take on the visitors Oviedo in the round 28 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Friday, February 17th at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova (Cartagena).
Cartagena have not been able to win this season for a long time. The Efes were able to hold out from 2009 to 2012 in the Segunda. And we can already state that it turned out to be repeated, because it turned out to return to this level back in 2020. At first, the newcomer limited themselves only to 16th place, then, in the last temporade, they even managed to climb to 9th position. As it appears, the place at this level might as well be kept. The only embarrassing thing is that in the winter the courage was lost, and for quite a long time it did not come out to win, alternating draws (which is curious, mostly on the road) with defeats. Fortunately, due to previous achievements, it is possible to stay in the middle of the table. The series of unpleasant results ended in the previous round with unexpected and confident win over one of the leaders of the season, Eibar, with devastating score 3-0. This should give the hosts confidence in their attacking strength. Cartagena had also scored 4 times in matches against Levante, Ibiza and Villarreal.

Oviedo are unlikely to repeat the results of previous season. In 2021/2023, the Carbaiones performed at the level of Girona, which is now playing quite well in LaLiga. Oviedo lost the dispute for the 6th place to the motivated “Girondins” only by additional indicators – the points were equal. There were hopes that it would be possible to progress further. But instead, there was a decline - not critical, but noticeable. All in all, the last few weeks have been pretty good. Alaves and Malaga were beaten with a draw against Huesca and a loss at home against Villarreal. In the last round, also at home, they lost to Burgos - this time everything was decided by the only goal after the break.
Oviedo managed to win both head-to-head fights last season. But this season, Cartagena was able to take revenge, having managed to win on the road 3-1. Of course, this is not the kind of couple from which you can expect a spectacle. But still, “more than 1.5 goals” looks like a passing option.
Prediction for the match: Over 1.5 scored goals.
