Struggling FC Cartagena will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Mallorca in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
FC Cartagena form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what FC Cartagena have to build on here at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova in the La Liga 2. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on FC Cartagena to get some points in this home game.
FC Cartagena faced defeat in their previous match, away at Mirandés (1-4). Heartbreak before that as Cartagena lost 1-2 at Castellon's place.
The penalty miss from Rubén Castro in the defeat against Mirandés was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The manager B. Jiménez Sáez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Rayo Vallecano in only three days.
The FC Cartagena fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Cartagena have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Mallorca form and stats
Mallorca's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Mallorca, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in La Liga 2, collect 12 points from their 6 away matches in the La Liga 2. 3 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). Things are running smoothly for Mallorca who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Rayo Vallecano. Mallorca are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Mallorca goalkeeper Manuel Reina Rodriguez is eager to challenge this, with his 382 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
There were no winners in Mallorca's previous match, a La Liga 2 home game that ended 0-0 vs Sporting Gijón (placed 4th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Girona at their stadium, the result 1-0.
After this away game Mallorca return home for a La Liga 2 game against UD Logrones. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Mallorca when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. The Mallorca defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (0 goals in 6 games).
