Real Zaragoza, Recent FormThe Real Zaragoza squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Real Valladolid, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 7 clean sheets in 15 games at The Estadio de La Romareda.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol manager Luis Miguel Ramis will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Alcorcon. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Alcorcon who had 16 attempts and 5 on target.
Ramis will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Martin Braithwaite is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Espanyol's last 6 league games
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Zaragoza have managed to keep a clean sheet against Periquitos in each of their previous 2 meetings at The Estadio de La Romareda.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The Estadio de La Romareda in the league, but Zaragoza will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 8 meetings there.
There is only really one injury concern for the Zaragoza manager Julio Velázquez ahead of this clash, with Quentin Lecoeuche (Broken collarbone) missing out, which gives Velázquez a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Espanyol manager Luis Miguel Ramis has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
