An important point secured against Amorebieta will have left Cartagena quite happy with their 0-0 draw.  In that game they had 43% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Amorebieta who had 5 attempts and 2 on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost.  They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

Serious concerns will be mounting for Efesé, having gone without a home league win in their last 6 games and losing the last 5 games in a row at The Estadio Cartagonova.

Last time out, Espanyol recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Racing Ferrol.  They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Racing Ferrol's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

With 14 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Luis García will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

Goalscorer Martin Braithwaite will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Espanyol.
