Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Racing Santander have managed to defeat Real Zaragoza only once in the past 10 years. Will the team be able to break this unfortunate streak and secure the points necessary to contend for promotion?
Real Zaragoza
The hallmark of the home side is their defence. The team ranks second in the league for goals conceded, with an average of 0.57 per game. However, relying on defence might not work in this match. In the previous leg, two key defenders were sent off, which will significantly impact their defensive solidity.
Racing Santander
Racing, on the other hand, have scored in every match this season, accumulating a total of 11 goals. Although they suffered their first defeat of the season in the last leg, they managed to take 15 shots on target, with finishing being the only flaw. It's also worth noting that they approach the match against Zaragoza with a fully fit squad, a factor likely to be crucial.
Real Zaragoza vs Racing Santander Prediction
There are two key factors to consider here. First, the hosts will be missing two primary defenders, which will undoubtedly affect their defensive play. Second, the visitors have scored at least one goal in every match this season. It is logical to bet on the visitors.
