Betting tip and prediction for this match between Almería and Cartagena
The best prediction for the clash between Almería and Cartagena in the Adelante League is over 2.5 goals. Almería tends to perform at its strongest, boasting a record where it has achieved most of its victories and netted a significant number of goals. However, their defensive capabilities have waned substantially. Conversely, Cartagena has struggled on the road, conceding the majority of their goals but managing to find the net as well, driven by a sense of urgency as they have little to lose. We anticipate an open fixture heavily influenced by the home side, yet with opportunities for both teams to score. Hence, betting on “more than 2.5 goals” appears to be a shrewd choice for this encounter.
The best prediction for Almería vs Cartagena
Over 0.5 goal in the 1st half (bet for live betting)
Over 1.5 goals (bet for live, double or triple bet)
Over 2.5 goals (risky prediction)
Match preview: Almería vs Cartagena
Almería and Cartagena face off at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos in a match for the 35th round of the Adelante League. The last meeting between these two teams ended with Almería securing a 2-1 victory on 23 November 2024. In their past encounters at this venue, the record is evenly divided with one draw and one victory apiece in the last three games. Notably, their most recent match at this stadium occurred on 5 August 2022, where Almería triumphed with a 1-0 win in a friendly clash.
Team analysis: Almería
At present, Almería sits in 7th position with 53 points, having recorded 14 wins, 11 draws, and 9 losses. Their last outing resulted in a disappointing 3-1 loss against Granada, following a previous home victory over Levante by 1-0.
In this competition, they have remained unbeaten at home for 14 matches. Although the defence has shown vulnerability, allowing goals in 9 of their last 10 matches, the attack has remained consistent, scoring in 9 of those fixtures. Throughout the 34 games, they have conceded the first goal 18 times, securing a comeback only twice.
Almería has been struggling for form towards the conclusion of the Adelante League season, despite an attack that seemed to be improving before the loss to Granada, where they suffered a 3-2 defeat, with a goal from Gonzalo Melero. Operating in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation, Luis Suárez has been a pivotal figure in the attack, frequently finding himself in the opposition box and proving decisive in crucial moments. In midfield, Arnau Puigmal and Lucas Robertone orchestrate the team’s play with sharp vision and precise passing, functioning as the link between defence and attack while ensuring creative fluidity. It appears that their full squad will be available for the upcoming match.
Team analysis: Cartagena
Conversely, Cartagena finds themselves languishing at the bottom of the table in 22nd position with just 17 points from 4 wins, 5 draws, and 25 losses. In their last encounter, they were defeated 1-0 at home by Eldense, coming off a previous 2-2 draw against Castellón. Their most recent away outing concluded in a 2-2 draw against Deportivo La Coruña. Overall, in the last ten matches, Cartagena has only managed 2 draws and 8 losses, securing a mere 2 points from the last 30 available.
They have not won in 13 away matches throughout this competition, with the most frequent scoreline at half-time being 1-0 in 6 of their 17 games. The lack of defensive solidity has been glaring, as they’ve conceded at least one goal in each of their last 10 fixtures. When playing away, there has been a tendency for goals, with 12 of their 17 matches exceeding 2.5 goals. Across 34 games, they’ve only managed to turn the score around in 1 of the 22 contests where they conceded the opening goal. Notably, of their 14 goals, 5 have come between the 46th and 60th minutes in their last 17 away games.
Cartagena is now officially relegated from the Adelante League, having gone without a win in seventeen rounds and succumbing to Eldense last match by 1-0. Typically employing a 5-4-1 formation, the team focuses on a strategy of containment and compactness but relies on the unexpected incursions of Luis Muñoz and Andy Rodríguez from midfield to create offensive opportunities. Álex Millán leads the line up front, navigating between the defensive lines of the opposition and becoming pivotal during critical attacking moments. Midfielder Luis Muñoz Togar is currently sidelined and may be unavailable for the remainder of the season.
The best prediction for Almería vs Cartagena
Over 0.5 goal in the 1st half (bet for live betting)
