Cartagena hosts UD Ibiza in round 9 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, October 10th at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova (Cartagena)
Cartagena played at the level of Segunda-B for a very long time. This division has a very complex selection system, and even a victory in the group does not guarantee anything, as then the playoffs follow. It is curious that the Black-and-Whites were 1st in 2018 but rose to the 2nd division only two years later (after an 8-year pause). At first, they managed to take the 16th place, which allowed them to fulfill the main task for the 2020/2021 draw — to stay in LaLiga 2. So far, it is difficult to unequivocally assess what Ruben Castro and his partners demonstrate (the legend of Betis is 40, but he still scores!). Cartagena did not score points in the first two rounds, but then it won three times in four matches. And the last two matches ended in defeats again. That is, the team is very unstable.

UD Ibiza was founded only in 2015. But the Sky Blues have already experienced three promotions in six seasons. Yes, there were also "administrative" promotions, as only Lorca's problems allowed UD Ibiza to debut in Segunda-B in 2018. But after three years, the club was able to rise even higher. And, importantly, the Sky Blues manage to show that they are worthy of a new level. The men of Juan Carlos Carcedo (in 2012 he worked at Spartak Moscow, although, as in other projects, he was an assistant) began their performance in the 2nd division of the country with a 7-match unbeaten streak. They gained victories over Leganes and Burgos and half a dozen draws. And only in the last round, the newcomer lost to Eibar, which played in the elite last season (3-1). However, Ibiza opened the scoring, and the turning point was an own goal in the middle of the 2nd half.
In the 2018/2019 season, these teams played at the level of Segunda-B. Then they exchanged home victories, but Cartagena won 6-0, and Ibiza was limited to a single goal. Cartagena is not shining now and this is a chance for Ibiza. The newcomer interrupted its unbeaten streak, but it can start a new one.
Prediction for the match: UD Ibiza to win with +0.5 handicap
