An important duel in the bottom section of the La Liga 2, with both Real Oviedo and Real Zaragoza experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 17th place.

Insights:
  • Real Oviedo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Real Zaragoza has the fewest matches over the total-line (8) in La Liga 2

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Real Zaragoza form and stats

There's been little loot from Real Zaragoza's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 13 away games in the La Liga 2. Real Zaragoza only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws.

The manager J. Martínez Jiménez was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga 2 match played at their home ground Estadio de la Romareda. Zaragoza suffered a 0-1 loss to Alcorcón (placed 19th). A 1-1 draw at Sabadell's stadium before that.

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 16 relevant matches. Results were three Zaragoza wins, six draws and seven defeats.

The attacking power of Real Zaragoza when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 13 league matches away. 14 goals have been conceded by Zaragoza in these games.
