Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
All eyes will be on Estadio La Romareda when Zaragoza and Granada go head to head in a highly-anticipated Copa del Rey game. When the two teams met in La Liga 2 last month Zaragoza defeated Granada 2-1, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. As los Blanquillos are on a four-game winless run in the Spanish second tier, such a scenario would be anything but shocking. Former Partizan striker Samed Bazdar limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Albacete, with Adrian Liso likely to step up.
Los Granadinos, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Almeria. As both Granada and Zaragoza are likely to adopt a cautious approach in this Spanish Cup clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides. Defender Carlos Neva should be the only absentee in the away team.
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.
