Real Zaragoza vs FC Cartagena Predictions

• Real Zaragoza have been much improved over the last month, claiming seven points from their last four league matches.
• Los Blanquillos have won six of their last seven starts at La Romareda.
• FC Cartagena have lost five of their last six away trips including their last three.

Hosts to maintain recent progress

A seven point haul from four games in March has allowed Zaragoza to edge their way clear of trouble and Los Blanquillos can put further daylight between themselves and the relegation zone with a win over second bottom FC Cartagena this week.

Consecutive 1-0 victories at La Romareda either side of a goalless draw at UD Logrones has established a four point gap between Friday’s hosts and the bottom three, and it’s hard to envisage anything other than a Zaragoza triumph in this clash.

Juan Ignacio Martinez’ side have won six of their last seven starts here, while the visitors have lost five of their last six away trips including their last three.

Cartagena have also failed to net in four of those outings, so a home win at odds against and a 1-0 correct score wager make great appeal for this contest, with Zaragoza wrapping up five of their last six home victories by that very score-line.
