FC Cartagena form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, FC Cartagena, who have the most conceded goals (27) in La Liga 2, have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 5 defeats from 9 games. The home stadium (Estadio Municipal Cartagonova) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Cartagena it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Real Zaragoza form and stats

Real Zaragoza have only collected 3 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 1-0-8 (9 played). A depressing eight defeats in a row for Zaragoza in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Leganes.

Zaragoza are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the La Liga 2 against Lugo (placed 11th). Preceding that game was the away Copa Del Rey victory against Gimnastica Torrelavega (after extra-time) with the score of 2-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Real Zaragoza manager R. Baraja Vegas as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Alcorcón.

Real Zaragoza are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 9 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Zaragoza have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
