Match preview: La Coruña vs Cartagena
La Coruña and Cartagena will meet at the Riazor Municipal Stadium for this 32nd round fixture of the Adelante League. In their last encounter in this competition, on 02 November 2024, Deportivo La Coruña claimed a convincing 5-1 victory away from home. It’s worth noting that though this match sees the 14th placed and 22nd placed teams overall, it actually pits the 19th placed team at home against the 21st away.
Team analysis: La Coruña
After recording 10 wins, 10 draws, and 11 losses, the home side currently sits in 14th place with 40 points. Their last outing saw them draw against Castellón (2-2), following a home draw with Cordoba (1-1). Notably, La Coruña has tended to perform better away from home, garnering 22 points on the road with 25 goals scored and 20 conceded, compared to just 18 points at home, where they have scored 16 and conceded 17. Over the last 10 matches at home, La Coruña has secured 13 points from a possible 30, with the most frequent half-time score being 0-0 (8 out of 15 games). Their attack has been reasonably consistent, netting in 7 of their last 10 matches. In terms of defensive vulnerability, they have only managed 2 comebacks when going behind in the 16 games where they conceded first. Additionally, they have conceded 6 out of their 17 home goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.
La Coruña is currently on a four-match unbeaten streak in the Adelante League, with their last match ending in a draw against Castellón (2-2). The team has relied heavily on Yeremay Hernández as their key offensive player, blending goal-scoring instinct with playmaking abilities. In midfield, Iván Barbero orchestrates the attacking plays, exploring his creativity to ensure constant pressure on the opponent’s defence. However, La Coruña will be without defender Dani Barcia due to suspension in the upcoming match.
Team analysis: Cartagena
The visiting side is currently struggling in 22nd position, having secured just 15 points from 4 wins, 3 draws, and 24 losses. Their previous match ended in a 0-1 defeat to Burgos at home after suffering a 0-3 loss away to the promotion contenders. Notably, Cartagena’s form is largely unaffected by whether they play at home or away, having scored 6 goals and conceded 19 at home compared to 12 scored and 37 conceded on the road. In their last 10 league matches, Cartagena has managed to achieve only 1 draw and 9 losses, collecting just a single point from 30 available.
This team has not won any of their last 12 matches away from home. They frequently trail at half-time, with the common score being 1-0 (6 occurrences in 16 matches). Defensive issues plague Cartagena, having conceded in 9 of their last 10 outings, indicating a lack of solidity at the back, coupled with an inefficient attack that has failed to score in 8 of their last 10 fixtures. Moreover, 11 of their 16 away matches ended with more than 2.5 goals. They have rarely taken the lead, being the first to score in only 7 of their last 31 games in the Adelante League, managing to hold onto a lead in just 3 instances throughout the entirety of those contests. Out of the 31 matches, they have conceded first 21 times and achieved a comeback in just one.
Cartagena finds themselves in a perilous position in the Adelante League and could be facing relegation, suffering their ninth defeat at the hands of Burgos (0-1) in the last round. They employ a traditional 5-3-2 formation, with Luis Muñoz and Andy Rodríguez in midfield, tasked with balancing defensive duties while contributing to the attack. Although the focus on maintaining possession and marking has been prominent, the duo is also expected to provide a crucial goal-scoring threat. However, they will be missing midfielder Sergio Guerrero and left-back Andrija Vukcevic due to suspension for the upcoming match.
