Real Zaragoza form and stats
Real Zaragoza's struggle is real here at Estadio de la Romareda with only 6 points collected from 7 La Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-6-1. Zaragoza haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus FC Cartagena, 68 days ago.
Zaragoza are returning here after visiting Burgos in a La Liga 2 game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Álvaro Giménez scored the goal(s). The victory against Burgos came after Álvaro Giménez's winning goal. The Zaragoza manager J. Martínez Jiménez was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 72nd minute. Defender Lluís López got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.65/10. López won 4 of 7 duels.
In the match before that, Real Zaragoza hosted Mirandés and drew the game 1-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Real Zaragoza perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Real Zaragoza as a small favourite), we find nine games. Zaragoza has won three of these, drawn three and lost three.
Zaragoza has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 7 games. Zaragoza are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio de la Romareda in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 7 matches.
Sporting Gijón form and stats
There's been little loot from Sporting Gijón's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the La Liga 2. Sporting Gijón only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 4 draws.
The manager D. Gallego Rodríguez was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga 2 match played at their home ground Estadio Municipal El Molinón. Gijón suffered a 0-1 loss to Almería (placed 1st). Late heartbreak for Gijón in the Almería match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime. Midfielder Pedro Díaz was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.61. Díaz dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 60 successful passes (of 71 total).
Before that, Gijón travelled to Lugo and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gijón playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were five Sporting Gijón wins, four draws and nine defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sporting Gijón have scored 7 goals in 7 league games away. Gijón have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
