🗞️ Team News: Real Zaragoza

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Real Zaragoza boss Juan Martínez to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Gabriel Fernández (Heel Bone Injury) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Espanyol

Owing to an otherwise available group, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Espanyol gaffer Vicente Moreno to be concerned with. Miguelón (Knee Injury) misses out for this game.

⚡ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Real Zaragoza might have a difficult job to find the net against this Espanyol lineup who we think will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 0-1 win for Espanyol at the end of this one.

Hoping for a good game.
