A good run in recent matches has FC Cartagena in the promotion playoff slots in the Segunda Division in Spain. They have a good chance of extending their stay in the top six when they play host to Villarreal II on Wednesday. Going into the game, Cartagena have managed 31 points, in fifth place, while the visitors have registered 24 points, and are in 12th place. Cartagena have recovered from their 2-1 loss to Mirandes and come into this game with two straight wins, the most recent a 1-0 victory over Andorra, right after a 2-1 win over Eibar. In three of their last five league matches, Cartagena have posted wins, and three of the five have also ended in over 2.5 goals. They come into the game having managed just one clean sheet in five league matches, but they have scored in all of the five matches.

Villarreal II have dropped to the bottom half of the Segunda Division after failing to win their last two league games. They’ve actually managed two wins in their last five league matches and in three of their last four matches in the league, they have failed to score. All of their last four league matches have produced under 2.5 goals, with Villarreal II scoring just one goal in that period. Their away run is even poorer. This season, Villarreal II won their first away match, beating Racing Santander 2-0 but after that they haven’t managed a win in the eight matches that followed. From a possible 24 points in their last eight away league matches, Villarreal II have collected just two points, and coming into this one, they have failed to score in three.
