Betting tip and prediction for this match between Albacete vs Cartagena
The best prediction for Albacete vs Cartagena in the Adelante League is that Albacete will score more than 1.5 goals. Given Albacete’s strong home performance where they have recorded most of their victories and scored the majority of their goals, this seems a solid bet. Although Cartagena has been fairly productive away from home, they have conceded nearly three times as many goals as they’ve scored. We anticipate an open match, likely dominated by Albacete, but with opportunities for goals from both teams. Therefore, betting on Albacete finding the net at least twice appears to be a promising option.

Match preview: Albacete vs Cartagena
Albacete and Cartagena meet at Carlos Belmonte Stadium for the 37th round of the Adelante League. In their last encounter in this competition on 20 December 2024, the outcome was a goalless draw (0-0). Previous face-offs at this stadium have shown a level of balance, with 2 draws and 1 victory apiece in the last 4 meetings. However, their most recent encounter at this ground on 09 August 2024 saw FC Cartagena emerge victorious with a score of 0-1, with Luis Muñoz scoring the only goal of the match in the 70th minute. The home advantage may prove significant, as Albacete shows a stark contrast in their performances at home compared to away matches.
Team analysis: Albacete
Currently, the home team sits in 13th place with 47 points from 12 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses. Their second-to-last match ended in a home defeat to Granada (0-2), while their last outing resulted in a draw away to Elche (2-2), with goals from Javier Rueda and Christian Kofane. Albacete generally performs better at home, as indicated by their record of 7 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses in their stadium compared to 2 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses when away. Over their last 10 home matches in the competition, they’ve amassed 18 points from a possible 30, with the most common halftime score resulting in a 0-0 draw, which occurred in 7 of their 18 home fixtures. Defensively, the team has allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, highlighting their vulnerabilities. Of note is that in 36 games, they conceded the first goal 17 times and managed to turn the match around only once.
Albacete is currently on a negative streak in the Adelante League, failing to win for three rounds, with their last result being a draw against Elche (2-2). They operate with a classic 4-4-2 formation, often building attacks down the left flank through Agus Medina, Pablo Sáenz, and Fidel, who work closely together with precise short passes. In the attack, Jon Morcillo, Christian Kofane, and Marín coordinate fluidly, frequently changing positions to outwit defenders. Morcillo has proven to be the team’s leading scorer so far. It’s expected that the full squad will be available for the next match.
Team analysis: Cartagena
The visiting side currently sits at the bottom of the table in 22nd place, with just 17 points from 4 wins, 5 draws, and 27 losses. Their penultimate match resulted in an away loss to Almería (2-1), followed by another defeat at home to Granada (2-3). Cartagena has exhibited consistent performance away from home, with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 11 losses in their last 30 outings. For this competition, they have only secured 2 points from a possible 30 in their last 10 away games.
Additionally, they have not managed a win on the road in 14 matches. In their away games, the most frequent score at halftime has been 1-0 (7 out of 18 games). Defensive solidity has been a significant issue for them, having conceded at least one goal in every one of their last 10 outings in this competition. Moreover, 13 of their last 18 away games have featured more than 2.5 goals. Of the 36 matches played, they found themselves a goal down 23 times and managed to come back just once.
Describing Cartagena’s campaign in the Adelante League is rather challenging, as they were relegated early and have now gone eighteen games without a victory, recently losing 2-3 at home to Granada, with goals from Alex Millán and Rafael Mata. They typically set up in a 5-3-2 formation, relying on the surprised advances from Luis Muñoz and Andy Rodríguez to inject flare into their attack, both known for their movement near the enemy goal. Up front, Alex Millán is responsible for exploiting gaps in the opposing defence and frequently features in key attacking plays. Midfielder Luis Muñoz is currently sidelined due to a long-term injury and is expected to miss the entire season.
