Albacete and Cartagena set for frustration in their bid for Segunda survival
Albacete Balompie vs FC Cartagena - 22/03/2021

The fight for survival in Spain’s Segunda looks set to go down to the wire. Two teams in the fight to avoid demotion to the third tier of the Spanish game.
Albacete and Cartagena, meet on Tuesday evening with both desperate for points.
Things are starting to look bleak for the league’s bottom club Albacete, as they are four points adrift of safety with time running out.
However, there is still hope left for Alejandro Menendez’s side, who have a game in hand on some of the teams above them.
A win in this game would be a massive boost for the home side.
The problem for Albacete is that they have struggled so badly for victories of late in the Segunda. In fact, they head into this potentially pivotal game on the back of a six-game winless, including suffering four defeats.
Poor form on home soil has not helped Albacete in their pursuit of survival, as they have won just one of their last ten league outings at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte.
Like Albacete, a victory in this clash would be massive for Cartagena. However, unlike the bottom team, a win in this clash would move the visitors out of the drop zone, as they are currently just a point from safety.
Also, like the home team, the 20th placed visitors have struggled for victories of late in the Spanish second tier, winning just two of their last 12 games in the Segunda.
Cartagena have proven themselves slightly travel sick in the Spanish second tier in recent months, as they have failed to win in their previous five away games in the league while suffering four defeats.
One positive for the visitors is that they have won four of the last six meetings with Albacete. Another win could be massive here.
However, Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low-scoring draw, which would be a frustrating result for both teams in their pursuit of safety this season.
