Real Zaragoza, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Levante UD will not have sat easily with the Real Zaragoza squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 40% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Levante UD managed 17 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Víctor Fernández will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
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.
Elche, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Elche players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Real Oviedo. They achieved 70% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Real Oviedo's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
It's been mixed fortunes for Elche away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Elche, Óscar Plano will be looking to add more goals against Real Zaragoza in this match.
It was one to forget for Real Zaragoza last time they met Elche in the league, falling to a 2-0 defeat.
The Los Franjiverdes defence has struggled at The Estadio de La Romareda, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Estadio de La Romareda, Los Franjiverdes have been unable to break through the Zaragoza defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Zaragoza has a good track record when they host Elche, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
There is only really one injury concern for the Zaragoza manager Víctor Fernández ahead of this clash, with Quentin Lecoeuche (Broken collarbone) missing out, which gives Fernández a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Elche manager Sebastián Beccacece has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
