Real Zaragoza vs Valladolid Predictions

• Zaragoza have lost two of their first three games, conceding in each
• Valladolid have made an unbeaten start without conceding
• The visitors have the lowest xG against tally in the division

Zaragoza’s struggles to continue

Real Zaragoza struggled last term, and their issues have carried over to the new campaign. After finishing in 18th last season, Zaragoza have earned only one point from their first three matches this time around.

The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet so far this season, while Saturday pits them against the side with the best defensive record in the second tier. Real Valladolid dropped into the second tier after a dire La Liga campaign, but they’ve picked up seven points from three games without conceding a goal.

The visitors have the lowest Expected Goals conceded in the division too, so their strong start appears to be built on solid foundations. Zaragoza have been outplayed in each of their last two matches, while they won only four of their 11 home clashes with top-half teams last term.

Defensive concerns cost the hosts last season, so back the visitors to build on their strong start.
