Girona form and stats

2-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga 2 numbers at home for Girona so far this season. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Girona, their manager M. Sánchez Muñoz and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Girona are returning here after visiting Mirandés in a La Liga 2 game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Santiago Bueno and Nahuel Bustos scored the goal(s). Santiago Bueno was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.23 out of 10. The defender Bueno scored one goal and won 9 of 13 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Huesca that was lost 1-3.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Girona have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won eight, drawn zero and lost two.

Girona are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. 7 goals have been conceded.

Real Zaragoza form and stats

The visitors are W1-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga 2. The Real Zaragoza manager J. Martínez Jiménez is a generous human being, having led his team to seven draws in a row during the last 50 days.

Zaragoza delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Ponferradina (placed 4th) in their previous match; a La Liga 2 game. Midfield player Valentín Vada was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.31/10. Vada scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 47 successful passes (of 53 total).

Before that, Zaragoza travelled to Malaga and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Real Zaragoza playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were four Real Zaragoza wins, five draws and eight defeats.

Zaragoza find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. Zaragoza have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
