On Saturday night, Real Zaragoza and Huesca go head-to-head in an Aragonese derby as the two teams fight for potentially vital points in the Segunda Division.
Los Manos are currently in 16th place in the Segunda Division, just four points clear of the relegation zone. Although Fran Escriba's team has won just one of their previous six games in the Spanish second tier, they are unbeaten in four league outings, so there is hope for an improvement in results in the near future.

A goalless draw at Albacete last time out in the Segunda means that Real Zaragoza has now drawn three of their previous four league matches. Their recent league games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight matches.
Zaragoza haven’t been great of late on home soil in the Spanish second tier, winning just two of their last six home matches in the Segunda Division.
However, they have also lost just one of the previous seven league games at the Estadio de la Romareda.
The visitors are hopeful of challenging for the play-off spots this season but currently find themselves in eighth place in the table and four points adrift of the league's top-six.
A run of just one win in their previous four league games has certainly not helped Huesca’s chances of forcing their way into the play-off spots.
However, last time out, Jose Angel Ziganda’s team ended a three-game winless run by recording a 1-0 victory over FC Andorra.
Huesca has a poor recent away record in the Spanish second tier, as they are winless in four league matches on their travels, suffering three straight away defeats in the process.
Forebet predicts that this derby game will produce a low-scoring draw, which will do very little to help either team’s season objectives.
