Real Zaragoza form and stats

8 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Real Zaragoza have to build on here at Estadio de la Romareda in the La Liga 2.

It's back home for Zaragoza, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Lugo away with the result 3-1. Miguel Linares, Raúl Guti and Shinji Kagawa found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Zaragoza lost 1-3 at home to Alcorcon.

This is expected to be a close game, with Real Zaragoza perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zaragoza as a small favourite), we find six games. Real Zaragoza has won one of these, drawn three and lost two.

There will be little rest for Zaragoza after this match as they are travelling to Extremadura UD for a La Liga 2 game in only three days.

The Zaragoza fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 24 goals in 16 league matches. From these home matches, Zaragoza have conceded only 15 goals.

Almería form and stats

6 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Almería, who have the most scored goals (52) in La Liga 2, playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga 2 home defeat versus Las Palmas with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Albacete.

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

Almería are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 27 times in 17 away games so far. As opposed to that, Almería have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
