The Antequera squad is going through a challenging period, having gone four consecutive matchdays without a win, accumulating three losses and one draw. This situation leaves them with 41 points, just four points above the relegation zone and six points shy of the play-off spots, underscoring the critical importance of this upcoming fixture.
Despite the negative streak, Antequera CF holds a hopeful statistic: they are one of the strongest away teams in the category. This factor could be crucial in their visit to Cartagena, an opponent that, since the beginning of the 2025/2026 season, has been considered a strong contender for promotion to Segunda División.
“"We know we have to be much more effective in the opponent's area, and it's not a matter of one striker or one winger, because practically all attacking players are getting chances. We are improving set pieces in our favor, but we need to continue improving set pieces against us and control those last-minute details, especially, because we have lost many points in the final minutes."
Coach Abraham Paz has analyzed the team's situation, emphasizing the need to improve offensive effectiveness and concentration in the final minutes of matches, where they have conceded important points. He also praised Cartagena, a team that, despite an irregular start, has corrected its course with a change of coach and boasts a squad of great quality and experience.
The match, corresponding to the 32nd round of the league championship in Group II of Primera Federación, will be broadcast on LALIGA+ and FC PLAY, offering blanquiverde fans various options to follow the match from any device.
