Real Zaragoza form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Real Zaragoza, who have the most clean sheets (12) in La Liga 2, have managed 7 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 14 games.

Real Zaragoza travelled for their previous game, a trip to Mirandés that ended 1-1. In the game before, an away victory match versus Elche with a 2-1 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Real Zaragoza have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won seven times, drawn four and lost four.

The Real Zaragoza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. Real Zaragoza have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Deportivo La Coruña form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Deportivo La Coruña so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-6 (win-draw-lose). Having won their last three away games Deportivo La Coruña has no reason to fear anyone.

Deportivo La Coruña's last game was the home draw against Girona (2-2). Preceding that game was the away victory against Alcorcón with the score of 1-0.

It looked so good for Deportivo La Coruña vs Girona, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. As mentioned above, Deportivo La Coruña drew the match against Girona. Manager F. Vázquez Pena brought on Álex Bergantiños to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

We have checked recent matches where Deportivo La Coruña have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were two victories, one draw and five defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportivo La Coruña as they have only managed to score 9 times from 14 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Deportivo La Coruña have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Real Zaragoza and Deportivo La Coruña have met before this season: Deportivo La Coruña - Real Zaragoza 1-3.
