FC Cartagena
LLDDLL ⚠

In that match, FC Cartagena managed 41% possession and 5 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for FC Cartagena was Álex Millán (85'). On the other side, Almeria got 28 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Leo Baptistão (9') and Luis Suárez (54') scored for UD Almería.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where FC Cartagena have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that FC Cartagena have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals during that time.
Their prior results show that FC Cartagena:
- have not beaten Granada in their last 4 league matches.
