Real Zaragoza

LDDLLL 📉

Since tasting defeat last time out to SD Huesca in La Liga 2 competition, Real Zaragoza will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Real Zaragoza had 63% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Huesca got 7 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Samuel Obeng (15') and Juanjo Nieto (71') scored for SD Huesca.

The stats don’t lie, and Real Zaragoza have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals overall. At the back, Real Zaragoza have some weaknesses to address. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, of course.

Their previous form shows that Real Zaragoza:

• have not won against Albacete when having played them away from home in the previous 5 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Albacete

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Albacete boss Rubén Albés to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Pedro Benito (Tendon irritation) is sidelined.

It’s our opinion that Queso Mecánico may well opt for a 4-4-2 formation in the match, handing starts to Bernabé Barragán, Carlos Isaac, Juan Antonio Ros, A. Cristian Glauder, Jonathan Silva, Agus Medina, Riki Rodríguez, Lander Olaetxea, Manuel Fuster, Alberto Quiles and Daniel Escriche.

📋 Team News: Real Zaragoza

Owing to a fully injury-free squad to choose from, the Real Zaragoza manager Fran Escribá has no fitness worries to report coming into this game.

It’s our belief that Blanquillos appear most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 system, settling for Daniel Rebollo, Andres Borge, Santiago Mouriño, Jair Amador, Quentin Lecoeuche, Germán Valera, Francho Serrano, Jaume Grau, Sergio Bermejo, Víctor Mollejo and Sergi Enrich.

💡 Prediction

We feel that Real Zaragoza will likely create enough chances to put one past this Albacete lineup, but that might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re going for both teams to score in a 2-1 win for Albacete after the 90. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
