FC Cartagena vs UD Ibiza Predictions

• Ibiza have lost just one of their eight league games since promotion (W2, D5).
• Cartagena have lost three of their last four matches and five from eight league games overall this term (W3).
• However, two of those three victories for Luis Miguel Carrion’s side have been earned at home.

Ibiza can deny Cartagena a third home win in four

UD Ibiza succumbed to their first defeat of the campaign against Eibar last weekend, but the Balearic Islanders can resume their solid start to the season overall by taking a point against Cartagena on Matchday 9.

Juan Carlos Carcedo’s finally lost for the first time since achieving promotion after going unbeaten through their first seven Segunda matches, though they shouldn’t be judged harshly for their 3-1 defeat at Ipurua against an Eibar outfit who were two tiers above them last term.

Celestes have already done much to prove that they’ll be an extremely tough opponent for most teams in this division and with five of their opening seven outings finishing level, we’re forecasting another stalemate when they make the trip to Estadio Municipal Cartagonova this Sunday.

Cartagena sit seven places below their opponents in 17^th after losing three of their last four and five from eight overall this season (W3), however, two of their victories thus far have been earned at home.

The early form dictates that this a clash which both sides will feel they can win, though we’re inclined to back a draw alongside a 1-1 correct score. We should see goals at both ends in this one, with the sides each keeping just two clean sheets apiece from their eight league fixtures and both averaging in and around one goal per game.
