Prediction: 2-0
Zaragoza
After crushing Atromitos 6-1, Elche will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on fellow Spanish outfit Zaragoza on Saturday evening. Los Franjiverdes secured the La Liga survival thanks to a 2-0 win over Athletic Club on the last day of the 2020/21 season, and, no doubt, their main goal for the upcoming La Liga campaign is to avoid relegation. A man to watch in the home team will be Argentine attacker Lucas Boye, who scored a brace in the triumph over Atromitos.
Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, impressed in the second half of the 2020/21 Segunda Division campaign, with the team finishing the process in 15th position in the standings. Zaragoza, though, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a warm-up game against lower-league side Calahorra (0-2), which is the main reason why home win should be considered.
