Team News: Real Zaragoza
Andrés Borge (Torn knee ligaments) and Raúl Guti (Partial patellar tendon tear) won’t be available for Real Zaragoza boss Víctor Fernández.
We think that Blanquillos could make use of the 4-4-2 formation, beginning the first half with Edgar Badia, Santiago Mouriño, Jair Amador, Lluis Lopez, Quentin Lecoeuche, Germán Valera, Marc Aguado, Toni Moya, Maikel Mesa, Sinan Bakis and Adrián Liso.
🗞️
Team News: Tenerife
In an otherwise available squad, there is just the one fitness issue for the Tenerife gaffer Asier Garitano to be concerned with. Javi Alonso (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.
There’s a good chance that Tenerife appear most likely to utilise a 4-4-2 formation, choosing Juan Soriano, Jérémy Mellot, Sergio Gonzalez, José León, Nacho Martínez, Luismi Cruz, Yann Bodiger, Alex Corredera, Waldo Rubio, Angel Rodriguez and Enric Gallego.
🔮
Prediction
It must be said that Tenerife should have a very tough job on their hands to hit the back of the net at all against a Real Zaragoza side who will most probably assert themselves and completely dominate.
Our tip is for a very easy time of it with a 4-0 winning margin at the minimum for Real Zaragoza when the referee blows the final whistle.
