Real Zaragoza, Recent FormReal Zaragoza will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Eibar who sit 12 places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with 50% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Eibar managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Julio Velázquez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. When playing at home this season, they've notched up 7 clean sheets.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at The Estadio de La Romareda, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Real Zaragoza, Maikel Mesa will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Cartagena, Recent FormCartagena will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Mirandes. In that game they had 36% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Mirandes who had 18 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Julián Calero will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
