Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Zaragoza
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Mirandes
Zaragoza and Mirandes face each other at Estadio La Romareda on day 30 of the current La Liga 2 campaign. Zaragoza aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano, and seeing that they are only one point clear of the relegation zone, Monday’s football game is of big importance for the home side. Narvaez, who scored the opener at the weekend, should keep his place up front alongside Alegria.
Mirandes, on the other hand, did well to hold Espanyol to a 2-2 draw in their last league match. Los Rojillos aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, but beating Zaragoza on the road is easier said than done. The hosts want this win more than the visitors, and we predict that los Blanquillos are going to pick up vital three points from Monday’s clash at Estadio La Romareda.
Highlighted Player (James Igbekeme):
James Igbekeme is a Nigerian footballer who plays for Zaragoza in La Liga 2 as a winger. Igbekeme’s primary position is central midfield, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a left midfielder as well.
The Nigeria international started his senior career at Portuguese club Ribeirao, and after scoring two goals in 43 appearances for Os Ribeirenses, he moved to fellow Portuguese outfit Gil Vicente. In 2018 he decided to move to Spain, signing a four-year deal with Zaragoza. The 170-cm tall footballer made his Zaragoza debut on August 19, 2018 in a 2-1 win over Rayo Majadahonda.
He scored his first goal for the club in a 4-0 win at Real Oviedo on September 8, 2018. Igbekeme’s preferred foot is left, and his contract with los Blanquillos should expire on June 30, 2023. The Zaragoza midfielder born in Lagos on July 4, 1995 has yet to receive a call-up for the Nigeria national football team.
Highlighted Team (Mirandes):
Mirandes is a Spanish club founded on May 3, 1927. Los Rojillos compete in Segunda division, with the team still eyeing their first ever promotion to La Liga. Mirandes’ home colours are red and black, while their away kit is mainly light blue.
Mirandes did remarkably well to make it to the Copa del Rey semis in the 2019/20 season, with the team outplaying the likes of Celta, Villarreal, and Sevilla in the process. Real Sociedad, though, proved to be a big catch for Mirandes in the Spanish Cup semis. Los Rojillos welcome their rivals at Estadio Municipal de Anduva. The stadium was opened back in 1950, with the venue being able to host 5,759 spectators.
Mirandes played their first game on June 4, 1927, with the team defeating Arabarra thanks to Fidel Angulo’s goal. Zaragoza and Alaves are considered one of the club’s main rivals. Los Rojillos have won Castilla and Leon Cup on two occasions (2011, 2012).
