Alcorcon vs Cartagena prediction 23.10.2023

• Competition: La Liga 2
• Date: Monday, 23rd October 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de Santo Domingo (Alcorcón)

Alcorcon, who had participated in La Liga 2 for 12 consecutive seasons, faced relegation in the 2021/22 season. Nevertheless, they swiftly made a comeback to La Liga 2 the subsequent year. Unfortunately, the beginning of the ongoing season appears unpromising, and they could potentially find themselves in another relegation battle. Currently, after 11 rounds, they sit at the 20th position with nine points &— merely two points away from the safe zone.

Cartagena’s performance in the last two seasons resulted in a 9th place finish both times. In the most recent season, they appeared to have a chance of making it to the playoffs, but unfortunately, a disastrous end to the season squandered that opportunity. Following this relatively successful season, there were high expectations for Cartagena to at least secure a mid-table position this year. However, the current season has been nothing short of a catastrophe as they currently find themselves in last place, trailing their upcoming opponent, Alcorcon, by four points.

Alcorcon vs Cartagena pick: Under 2.5 goals

Alcorcon ranks among the lowest-scoring teams in La Liga 2, having only scored ten goals. Their offensive struggles are even more evident when playing at home, where they have managed to find the back of the net only twice in five rounds, averaging a mere 0.4 goals per game. As a result of this poor offensive performance, Alcorcon has fallen short of the 2.5 goal mark in four out of those five home matches.

In terms of offensive performance, Cartagena has been quite poor, having only scored nine goals in eleven rounds. Only Elche (eight) and Huesca (seven) managed to score fewer goals than them. Moreover, when playing away from home, Cartagena struggled to find the back of the net, managing to score just once in the last three matches. Even that solitary goal came from a penalty kick.

After witnessing a 1-1 draw in their previous match, and taking into account their poor form and lackluster offensive performances this season, we believe that betting on under 2.5 goals is the most secure choice for this game.
