Real Zaragoza

Real Zaragoza go into this match following a 3-2 La Liga 2 win versus FC Cartagena in their most recent outing.

In that game, Real Zaragoza managed 63% possession and 37 shots on goal with 8 on target. For Real Zaragoza, goals were scored by Raúl Guti (10'), Alberto Marí (87') and Dani Gómez (97'). Cartagena got 4 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Nacho Martínez (4') and José Machín (14') scored for FC Cartagena.

Real Zaragoza have seen success in front of goal of late, having scored 11 times in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Real Zaragoza can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same outings. That sort of pattern might not follow through into this next game, of course.
