The Las Palmas & Real Zaragoza managers J. Mel and V. Fernández are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the La Liga 2 league table.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Las Palmas and Real Zaragoza.

Real Zaragoza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Real Zaragoza form and stats

4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Real Zaragoza playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season.

It's the second away game in a row for Real Zaragoza, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Gimnàstic Tarragona in the Copa Del Rey last time out. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Sporting Gijón in the La Liga 2.

The schedule is very tough for Real Zaragoza now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A La Liga 2 game at Mirandés is waiting in only four days.

Real Zaragoza find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 14 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. 13 goals have been conceded by Real Zaragoza in these games.
