The league table in La Liga 2 tells a story about these teams so far, with Real Zaragoza leading Racing Santander by 13 points. Match preview to follow:
Real Zaragoza and Racing Santander should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Real Zaragoza form and stats
Real Zaragoza have played 10 La Liga 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Real Zaragoza are returning here after visiting Deportivo La Coruña in a La Liga 2 game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Before that, Real Zaragoza drew at home versus Girona.
Real Zaragoza are traveling soon after this match as the Copa Del Rey match at Socuellamos awaits in three days.
Real Zaragoza have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at La Romareda with 15 goals in 10 league matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Racing Santander form and stats
Racing Santander have only collected 6 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 0-6-3 (9 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 15 away games in a row.
There were no winners in Racing Santander's previous match, a La Liga 2 home game that ended 2-2 vs Fuenlabrada (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Elche wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
It looked so good for Racing Santander vs Fuenlabrada, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. 6 saves made goalkeeper Luca Zidane a hero against Fuenlabrada, contributing heavy to the point gained.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Copa Del Rey trip to Real Murcia.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Racing Santander as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Racing Santander have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
