Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Cadiz will try to open the season in great manner when they take on Zaragoza at their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Friday evening. La Union Deportiva failed to win the last four warm-up games, but they are still seen as favourites to beat los Blanquillos in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Javier Ontiveros, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Left-back Santiago Arzamendia is no longer part of the team.
Zaragoza, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Levante in their last friendly match, but seeing that Cadiz have turned their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla into a real fortress, home win should be considered. New recruit from Partizan Belgrade Samed Bazdar is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting 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.
