The La Liga 2 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Real Zaragoza and Málaga are placed 15th and 10th respectively.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Málaga have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Real Zaragoza form and stats
Only two La Liga 2 home games for Real Zaragoza so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Zaragoza are confident in defense, having played 188 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A nice win for Zaragoza last time playing, versus Albacete. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Juan Narváez scoring for the victors. Before that, Zaragoza played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Alcorcón.
The manager R. Baraja Vegas will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Leganés in only four days.
Real Zaragoza has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Málaga form and stats
Málaga, who have the most conceded goals (6) away in La Liga 2, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the La Liga 2, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
Málaga aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 227 league minutes without a goal. C. Rodriguez was the last player to find the net.
Málaga played 0-0 against Las Palmas in their previous match. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Rayo Vallecano's place.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sporting Gijon in just four days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Málaga's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. The Málaga manager S. Pellicer García has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Zaragoza wins - draws - Málaga wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
