🗞️ Team News: FC Cartagena

It’s our opinion that Efesé should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this game, utilising Toni Fuidias, M. Aguirregabiria, Jorge Moreno, Pedro Alcala, Andrija Vukcevic, Assane Ndiaye, Sergio Guerrero, Daniel Luna, Jose Machin, Salim El Jebari and Álex Millán.

ℹ️ Team News: Tenerife

There’s a good chance that Tenerife appear most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 formation, settling for Salvador Carrasco, David Rodriguez, Sergio Gonzalez, Anthony Landazuri, Gabriel Palmero, Alejandro Cantero, Maikel Mesa, Aaron Martin Luis, Waldo Rubio, Jorge Padilla and Youssouf Diarra.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that FC Cartagena will do well to register a score against this Tenerife outfit who we think should gain the upper hand.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even match with a 0-1 advantage for Tenerife at the end of the 90.
