FC Cartagena form and stats

FC Cartagena's first La Liga 2 home game here at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 13 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from 21 matches.

A good away victory last time out for FC Cartagena, who won 3-2 against Huesca (placed 15th). Finally, a league victory after three matches without one. The victory against Huesca came after Sadiku's winning goal. The Cartagena manager Delgado was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 82nd minute. Ortuño, a natural forward, was the champion performer for the team in that match, and was presented with a rating of 8.24 (out of 10). Ortuño scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Ponferradina that was lost 2-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with FC Cartagena perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FC Cartagena as a small favourite), we find 16 games. FC Cartagena has won 9 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.

FC Cartagena has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Real Zaragoza form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first La Liga 2 away game of the season. During their previous season 21 away games resulted in 5 wins, 10 draws and 6 defeats.

Real Zaragoza aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 229 league minutes without a goal. Vada was the last player to find the net. 204 minutes! That's how long the Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Cristian Dario Alvarez and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Zaragoza's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Levante that finished 0-0. Amador, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.04. Amador hit one key pass and won 4 of 4 duels.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Las Palmas that ended 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Real Zaragoza playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 4 Real Zaragoza wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

Real Zaragoza have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
