Real Sociedad B vs FC Cartagena
Real Sociedad B host Cartagena for this LaLiga2 match at Reale Arena in San Sebastian early Tuesday morning Beijing time. The second highest tier of Spanish football is pretty high-quality and I recommend my fans to occasionally watch this league too! This match, however, will probably not be the most entertaining one. Indeed, relatively low-scoring match is on the cards. The hosts often play with a pretty defensive tactic - sometimes even at home. Actually, I rate it as even more low-scoring than the betting market on average and most football analysts and experts online. This increases the probability of a draw of course. Let's take a closer look..
The standings do not reflect the true level of this teams ahead of this match offering us a good chance to place a bet on the hosts not to lose this battle. They are in my opinion favorites to win! They are Real Sociedad's reserve team with a large number of very talented young players hoping to get a chance in the very high-level first team that has improved a lot in recent years. They are currently only in the 21st place with 18 points in the bank but I believe they have a good chance to avoid relegation at the end of the season. They need to be more effective in offense of course and organize the defense a little better but all the ingredients to do this are there! They would have deserved a lot points in many matches this season based on their performances. I have watched almost all of their matches this season. For example on New Year's Eve they lost to a very good team Eibar 2-3 away from home but the match was pretty balanced and the hosts only had 53% ball possession despite being massive favorites to win according to the betting market.. Both teams recorded 4 shots on target. Cartagena have not convinced me lately.. In their most recent match they suffered humiliating defeat 0-3 at home as clear favorites versus Huesca - not even a very good team! The visitors recorded a lot more goal attempts and a few more shots on target.. Cartegena can surely improve but will it be enough to win here..? I have my doubts.. The hosts have a better situation for this match in terms of players available.
To sum up, the hosts with the +0.5 goals handicap is a very solid bet here for my fans and myself!
