Real Zaragoza Preview – Can the Zaragozans move a step closer to La Liga?
After a poor 15th-place finish last season, Real Zaragoza have fared far better this time around so far. The Whites have played 31 times, winning 15, drawing ten and losing six. No team in Spain’s second tier have lost fewer games. Along the way, Zaragoza have scored 45 times and shipped 30.
Victor Fernandez’s troops are on an incredible ten-game unbeaten run in the Segunda Division, winning six and drawing four. They have lost just once in league action since November. Before the league came to a temporary halt in March, Zaragoza signed off with an important 1-0 win at Malaga.
Fernandez’s team have the best away record in the league, while they have picked up a respectable 28 points on home turf. Only Huesca, Girona, Cadiz and Ponferradina have accumulated more home points up until now. Can the promotion hopefuls secure a ninth home league victory of the season on Saturday?
Alcorcon Preview – Will the Potters extend unbeaten away record?
Alcorcon have had a mixed bag of results this season. However, they restart their campaign just five points away from the top six. Before the unscheduled break, they were beaten at home by Mirandes.
Despite their patchy form, the Potters have been incredibly hard to beat away from home. In fact, they are the only team in Spain’s second division with an unbeaten away record. Only Zaragoza have picked up more away points, but Fran Fernandez’s side have drawn ten of their 15 away matches.

Real Zaragoza vs Alcorcon Betting Advice
Alcorcon have been superb away from home this season, but things have been far different on their own patch. When they welcomed Real Zaragoza to the Estadio Municipal de Santo Domingo back in September, goals from Raphael, Luis Suarez and Vigaray gave the visitors an impressive 3-0 away win.
Key Facts – Real Zaragoza vs Alcorcon Betting Tip
- Real Zaragoza have lost only once in league action since November
- Alcorcon have yet to lose away from home in the league this season
- Only Zaragoza have picked up more away points than Alcorcon
I can see Alcorcon’s excellent undefeated away record coming to an end this weekend. However, I fancy them to score in Zaragoza. With that in mind, take a punt on the home win and both teams to score at 10/3.
Luis Suarez netted in the reverse game, and the Colombian will want to add to his solid tally this Saturday. Suarez is the 11/4 favourite to open the scoring in this one.
