Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio La Romareda will host Sunday’s Segunda Division game between Zaragoza and Espanyol, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Los Blanquillos do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches and, as a result, the odds for away win are dropping. All Francho Serrano, Raul Guti, and Carlos Nieto are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Los Periquitos, on the other hand, are determined to secure automatic La Liga promotion and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Zaragoza’s dressing room. A man to watch in the away team will be Martin Braithwaite, who scored his 18th goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Alcorcon, whilst Salvi Sanchez misses out through suspension.
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.
