Cartagena vs Valencia: Match Prediction
Valencia have dominated these fixtures in recent times, winning 2-1 against Cartagena in each of their last two encounters in the Copa del Rey (2022 & 2024). However, the visitors will look to underline their attacking firepower and superior quality when they face the lower division side on Thursday night. For this reason, we predict Valencia to win 2-1 against Cartagena in their upcoming clash.
Correct score prediction: Cartagena 1-2 Valencia
Cartagena vs Valencia: Match Preview
Cartegena heads into this encounter with somewhat inconsistent form, having recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats in their past five local league outings. However, if the Primera Federacion side manage to convert a counter or set piece, they could make life difficult for Los Che at Cartagonova.
Despite the struggle to build consistency this season, Valencia have shown flashes of improvement in their recent La Liga outings. Having gone undefeated in their last three matches (1 win, 2 draws), Carlos Corberan’s men will be eager to showcase their potency in the final third when they face Cartagena in round 2.
