Real Zaragoza vs Leganes Predictions

• Zaragoza are unbeaten in 12 games in the Spanish second tier, and became the first team to win at Las Palmas last time out.
• The hosts have the second best defensive record in the division, conceding just 13 goals in 16 games.
• Struggling Leganes have won 1 of their last 9 games.
• Despite their varying fortunes, both teams have only scored 15 goals this season.

Draw Specialists Zaragoza are Turning the Corner

Real Zaragoza extended their long unbeaten run with a fantastic 3-2 win at Las Palmas last weekend, prior to which the Gran Canaria-based team had been unbeaten on their own turf. Zaragoza’s 12-match unbeaten run has certainly not come without its pitfalls; it included an incredible sequence of 9 consecutive draws at one point, but the fallen giants are now chasing the top of the Segunda Division, and sit just 4 points from a playoff place, after winning their last 3.

Leganes suffered playoff agony last campaign, but have found this season a struggle from the get-go. They’ve won 1 of their last 9 games, tasted victory just 3 times all campaign, and have scored only 15 goals in total. To demonstrate both the tight nature of the Segunda Division, and how truly bizarre Zaragoza’s 2021-22 season has been, the hosts have scored the same number of goals as Leganes, and only won 1 match more than Monday’s visitors, but sit 12 places higher in the league table.

Hosts to Edge it?

Zaragoza seem to have found a means of grinding out crucial results, as they look to put together a genuine promotion bid, and will be heavily fancied with home advantage on Monday night. Given the form in which the hosts enter this matchup, I’m tipping them to grind out a narrow victory, and to maintain their strong defensive record by keeping a 5^th home clean sheet of the season in the process. None of Zaragoza’s games have been decided by more than one goal, and 1-0 to the home side looks like a strong correct score prediction ahead of this meeting.
