Cartagena will host Huesca at the Cartagonova on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have endured a torrid campaign, with new head coach Alejandro Castro struggling to steady the ship as the side remain rock-bottom in the table with just seven points from 14 matches.
They were beaten 1-0 by Malaga last time out and were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by an even larger margin after being on the back foot for the vast majority of the contest.
Huesca, meanwhile, enjoyed a bright start to their season but have since lost their way with their early push for the playoffs rapidly fizzling out. They played out a 1-1 draw against Real Zaragoza last time out, with Gerard Valentin scoring a stunning opener before their promotion-chasing opponents leveled the scores midway through the second half.
The visitors sit mid-table in 11th place with 19 points from 13 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their league campaign back on track this weekend.

Huesca are on a three-game unbeaten streak and have lost just one of their last seven games across all competitions. They have struggled for results on the road of late but should have just enough to win this one.
Prediction: Cartagena 0-1 Huesca
