On Friday night, Real Zaragoza host Real Oviedo at the Estadio de la Romareda, as both teams look to move away from the regelation zone in the Spanish Segunda.
Real Zaragoza heads into this game 18th place in the Spanish second tier table, only outside the drop zone due to a superior head-to-head record to 19th place Albacete.

The home side has picked up just ten points from as many league games in a poor start to their league campaign. However, they do have a game in hand on several of their rivals, including the visitors.
The biggest factor in Zaragoza’s recent poor form has been their inability to find the net, as their record of not scoring in five of their last six league games illustrates. The lack of goals has contributed to five of their last six Segunda games producing under 2.5 goals.
Ivan Martinez’s team has failed to win in their previous four home games in the Spanish second tier, having drawn their last three outings on home soil.
Like their hosts, Real Oviedo have made a poor start to their Segunda campaign. The visitors are just three points better off than Zaragoza, but have played a game more than the home side.
However, it seems that Oviedo’s form may be turning for the better, as the visitors have now recorded two straight wins, beating Las Palmas 2-1 and Castellon 4-0 last time out. The victory last time out followed a familiar high-scoring trend for Oviedo, as it was their fourth straight league game to produce over 2.5 goals.
The Blues have been poor on their travels of late in the Segunda, having won just once in their last six away games in the Spanish second tier.
Forebet predicts that both teams will suffer frustration once again with this game ending in a low-scoring draw.
