Real Zaragoza form and stats

The story so far in the La Liga 2 for Real Zaragoza at their home stadium (Estadio de la Romareda) is 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 defeats. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Real Zaragoza after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Zaragoza supporters enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Almeria and win 2-0. Goalkeeper Álvarez got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.03 out of ten. Álvarez saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Sporting Gijon and winning 2-1.

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 14 games) they have won three times, drawn six and lost five.

Zaragoza have scored 11 league goals here from 15 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Real Zaragoza have conceded only 10 goals.

Fuenlabrada form and stats

There's been little loot from Fuenlabrada's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the La Liga 2. Fuenlabrada only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Burgos with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Midfielder Ontiveros was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.81. Ontiveros served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times.

Prior to that match, the Fuenlabrada manager García faced defeat when travelling to Almeria and losing 1-3.

We have checked recent matches where Fuenlabrada have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, four draws and three defeats.

Fuenlabrada are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 7 goals from 14 away games. As opposed to that, Fuenlabrada have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
