Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Zaragoza will be looking to keep their 100% record in the new Segunda Division campaign intact when they take on Racing Santander on Friday evening. Los Blanquillos made a flying start to the season and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Carlos Nieto has joined Francho Serrano in the recovery room, with Quentin Lecoeuche likely to step up. A man to watch in the home team will be left winger Manu Vallejo, who produced an excellent display in a 3-1 win over Cartagena.
Los Racinguistas, on the other hand, aim to stay in the playoffs berth, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. Both Pombo and Fernandez are sidelined through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Aragon.
Highlighted Team (Zaragoza):
Based in the autonomous community of Aragon, Zaragoza is a Spanish football club that plays in Segunda Division. The club was founded on March 18, 1932 and it plays their home matches at the legendary La Romareda stadium.
The venue opened on September 8, 1957 has the capacity of 33,608 people. Los Blanquillos wear white shirts and blue shorts when playing on home soil, while yellow is the dominant colour of their away kit. Zaragoza did well to win the la liga trophy in the 1977/78 season, with the team finishing the campaign four points clear of second-place Recreativo de Huelva.
Speaking of the club’s European success, Zaragoza clinched the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1994/95 season as they defeated 2-1 in the title game. Fabio Coentrao, Pablo Aimar, Roberto Ayala, Diego Milito, Gabriel Milito, Cafu, and David Villa are the most notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Huesca are considered the club’s main rivals.
