Venue: Estadio de la Romareda (34596 seats)

Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Estadio de la Romareda clash with Málaga, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the La Liga 2 table.

It's no vacation for neither Real Zaragoza nor Málaga as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Málaga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
