Real Zaragoza form and stats

Real Zaragoza's struggle is real here at Estadio de la Romareda with only 7 points collected from 8 La Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-3. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Real Zaragoza, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 251 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Igbekeme was the last player to find the net.

Zaragoza lost their last game at Castellon (placed 18th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Espanyol.

Real Zaragoza are traveling soon after this match as the La Liga 2 match at Almeria awaits in three days.

The Zaragoza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Zaragoza have conceded 10 goals. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
