We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
These teams have little in common geographically as Real Zaragoza have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Málaga, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
The home team returns to Estadio La Rosaleda after being equal after 90 minutes with Real Valladolid (placed 9th) on their last time out; the La Liga 2 game ended 1-1. Dani Martín, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.82 out of 10 in that game. Martín stopped the opponent with five saves.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fuenlabrada in a game that was won 1-0.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Málaga as they are travelling to their away game against Huesca in the La Liga 2. That match is three days after this one.

Real Zaragoza form and stats

The attacking players of Zaragoza have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 238 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Zaragoza goalkeeper Cristian Dario Alvarez is eager to challenge this, with his 242 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
