Cartagena to boost promotion bid against Lugo

CD Lugo vs FC Cartagena - 07/11/2022

3242

On Monday night, Lugo hosts Cartagena in the Spanish Segunda as the visitors look to boost their hopes of promotion to the top flight.

Lugo

The home side is only outside the relegation zone courtesy of a superior goal difference of just one to 19th place Real Oviedo. Hernan Perez’s team heads into this clash on the back of just one win in the Spanish second tier, having also suffered three defeats in their last five league matches.

A key factor in their recent poor league run is the lack of goals scored, having failed to score in three of their last five Segunda matches.

Lugo’s recent home form has been poor, too, as they have won just once in their previous five Segunda games on home soil. Once again, a lack of goals has been a big problem in their recent home results in the Spanish second tier, as they have failed to score in three of their last four league games on home soil.

Cartagena

The visitors currently sit in fifth place in the Segunda table, just three points adrift of the automatic promotion spots. The visitor's recent league form has been inconsistent, as a 2-1 home win over Malaga last time out was only their second win in their previous five outings in the Segunda.

The Malaga game ended a run of low-scoring matches for Cartagena, as their previous four league games had all produced under 2.5 goals.

Cartagena’s recent away form in the Segunda has been highly inconsistent of late, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their previous five away games in the Spanish second tier.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Cartagena will record a narrow victory in a low-scoring encounter to aid their chances of promotion.
