Cartagena vs Zaragoza Prediction & Betting tips
It is difficult, let’s start from the basis that it is difficult. We are betting on the away victory of Real Zaragoza, one of the teams with the worst dynamics in the entire SmartBank League and that occupies a relegation place, but I see it with great value in the bet and we are going to see the various reasons.
The main reason for the bet is Real Zaragoza, it is not that I want to belittle Cartagena, but I see the value in what happened in Zaragoza in recent days, although we must not detract from everything that is happening in Cartagena In fact, we are going to start the analysis of the bet there.
The Cartagena is aimless, they dismissed Borja Jiménez (for me a mistake, he is a great technician that I am lucky to know because of his career in my city), and after almost fifteen days they have not found someone to direct a ship that seems to have been touched and with a very black future. 4 losses in their last 5 games; what’s more, 8 defeats in their last 10 games (allow me the license to include a Copa del Rey match against Pontevedra). But it is that I continue to give even more overwhelming data … the last four games played in Cartagonova are counted by losses:
Cartagena 1 – 2 Sabadell
Cartagena 1 – 3 R.C.D. Spanish
Cartagena 1 – 2 Real Mallorca
Cartagena 0 – 1 Logroñes
Overwhelming. My personal opinion is that there is more to this than the coach. The trend that Borja was wearing was not good, but you have to have certain wickers to be able to support the team and Cartagena does not have them. The squad is very empty of capabilities and it seems that only the flashes of veteran Rubén Castro keep the team alive, in fact I think he has 8 or 9 goals already at 39 years of age. It’s crazy that the team stays like this, since the day it is not in the game, you do not find more capacity for the goal, not to mention that defensively the team is the worst in the entire SmartBank League, in fact it is the team most thrashed, with 27 goals against.
Real Zaragoza, a team that 10 days ago was in a similar situation (emotionally) and that now seems to be picking up some morale between the arrival of JIM and the victory by the minimum in the last match of 2020.
It is different from Cartagena, it is not a great team to be up there, no, of course not, but it has wickers to not be down there, to be above Cartagena and, of course, to beat Cartagena in Cartagonova.
Perhaps it all comes to mind that Real Zaragoza may be Deportivo de la Coruña that began to score points left and right last season with the arrival of Fernando Vázquez, although in the end it was useless. An experienced coach, who knows what it is to fight in the Second Division, although he does not know the current one after his adventures in exotic countries. I’m not from JIM, I don’t like him, he seems like an old-fashioned coach, but … maybe that’s what Zaragoza needs right now. From the beginning in the first game, the losing trend changed. It is also true that the team, since the departure of Rubén Baraja and with the arrival of Iván, has already improved a lot in its game despite the defeats. If it is normal, Real Zaragoza does not have the equipment to be down there. Hopefully with a new victory they start to take flight and thus make us paint this fantastic quota green.
