A key fixture in La Liga 2 as both squads are challenging for the top spots. With FC Cartagena in 7th position and SD Eibar at 5th, this has all the looks of an exciting fight. Read on to find out more!
- FC Cartagena have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- SD Eibar have the most points from losing position (9) in La Liga 2
