Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Zaragoza and Malaga, the two old rivals, face each other at Estadio La Romareda on Saturday evening. Los Blanquillos have been struggling in front of goal in the first half of the season, with under 2.5 goals being netted in nine of their last ten league fixtures. Zaragoza aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Andorra and Alaves, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field.
Argentina midfielder Valentin Vada is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a shocking Copa del Rey loss to Diocesano at the weekend. Meanwhile, los Boquerones did well to eliminate Pena Deportiva in the Spanish Cup, but they are on a four-game winless run in Segunda Division. Since Malaga suffered a loss in each of their last three away fixtures, we are tempted to put our money on Zaragoza this time out. As for the visiting team, both Moussa Diarra and Victor Olmo are sidelined with injuries.
