FC Cartagena
Albacete
Contents
- Competition: La Liga 2
- Date: 19th November 2023
- Kickoff: 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET
- Venue: Cartagonova
Albacete aims to secure their second away victory of the 2023-24 Spanish second division season this weekend as they face Cartegena on their turf.
Cartagena has had a tough season with hardly anything to celebrate. Despite finishing ninth in the last two La Liga 2 seasons, they are currently at the bottom of the standings. Julián Calero’s team is entering this weekend’s game on a twelve-match winless streak across all competitions. Adding to the concern, they have lost all five of their home games during this period.
Albacete’s unbeaten run in three games surpasses the hosts’ performance, although both teams have had a disappointing season so far. The Clockwork Cheese are currently languishing in the bottom seven, having secured a mere seventeen points from fifteen league matches this season. Their poor away record is a key factor contributing to this slump, with only five of the seventeen points garnered by Rubén Albés' side this season coming from matches on the road.
Cartagena vs Albacete Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Despite Cartagena’s struggle to secure wins this season, they have recently been successful in scoring goals, averaging one goal per game in their last six league matches as the Zebras. In five of these games, bets placed on the option “Both teams to score = Yes” were successful.
At the beginning of the season, Albacete had a hard time scoring goals. However, they are now finding the back of the net more regularly. In seven out of their last ten Segunda Division games, Rubén Albés' team has managed to score at least once, and both teams have scored in seven of those matches.

Albacete team news
Rubén Albés, Albacete’s head coach, won’t be able to utilize Pedro Benito in this weekend’s game due to an injury. The centre-forward, who has been sidelined since July due to a tendon irritation, will not be recovered in time for Sunday’s match against Cartegena.
Juan Antonio Ros and Agus Medina have already received four cautions this season. Consequently, another booking this weekend will lead to a one-match ban. However, there are no other issues for the visitors.
