Albacete will be looking to register what will be only their second away win of the 2023-24 Spanish second division campaign when they face Cartegena away from home this weekend.
There has been little or nothing to celebrate for Cartagena this season. The Zebras finished ninth in each of the last two La Liga 2 seasons but currently find themselves at the bottom of the standings. Julián Calero's side enter this weekend's game with a run of in twelve matches without a win across all competitions and more worrying is the fact that they lost all five of their home games during this period.
Albacete's form – unbeaten in three – is better than that of the hosts but overall the visitors’ season so far has been equally poor. The Clockwork Cheese currently lie in the bottom seven after managing to accumulate just seventeen points from fifteen league games this season. One of the main reasons for this decline is their away record, as only five of Rubén Albés’ side seventeen points this season have come away from home.
Cartagena vs Albacete Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Although Cartagena have struggled to pick up wins this season they have found ways to score goals recently as the Zebras boast an average of one goal per game in their last six league games. Bets on the option "Both teams to score = Yes" were won in five of those games.
Albacete struggled to score goals at the start of the season but now they are scoring more frequently. Rubén Albés' side have scored at least one goal in seven of their last ten Segunda Division games, and both teams were on target in seven of those matches.

Cartagena team news
Cartagena head coach Julián Calero will be happy to go into this weekend's game with an injury-free squad, but the 53-year-old has four players on the brink of suspension.
Mikel Rico, Damián Musto, Alfredo Ortuño and Tomás Alarcón have already been cautioned four times this season. Another yellow card for any of them this weekend would mean that they will not be able to make the trip to Tenerife next weekend.

Albacete team news
Albacete head coach Rubén Albés will not be able to call on Pedro Benito this weekend due to injury. Benito has been out since July with a tendon irritation and Sunday's trip to Cartegena comes too soon for the centre-forward.
Juan Antonio Ros and Agus Medina have already been cautioned four times this season, so another booking this weekend will result in a one-match ban but the visitors have no further problems.
