Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Zaragoza will be aiming to climb to the playoffs berth when they take on Albacete in the La Liga round 17. Los Blanquillos have drawn each of their last three games, but they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Victor Fernandez has a full squad to choose from, but his men will have to prove their worth on the field. It has to be noted that Zaragoza are after their fourth win at their Estadio La Romareda this season.
El Queso Mecanico, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Tenerife. Albacete, though, have been struggling on the travels this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home team. Fidel remains on the sidelines with injury, while Jaume Costa is unlikely to be risked. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous six meetings between the two teams.
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.
