- Competition: La Liga 2

- Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CET
- Venue: La Romareda (Zaragoza)
Zaragoza are playing their 12th consecutive season in La Liga 2 since they suffered relegation in 2012/13 season. In recent seasons, they were not even close to securing promotion as they finished around the middle of the league's table. This year, after an excellent start, they crumbled and are currently on a seven-game winless run in all competitions. Currently, they are in 12th with 26 points - four away from the playoffs but with one game played more than 6th-placed Levante.
Real Oviedo arrived at La Liga 2 in the 2015/16 season and were more or less constantly close to securing the playoffs. Last year, they finally made it to the playoffs and came close to securing the promotion but lost in the super-competitive finals against Espanyol. This season, they are doing well and are averaging around 0.2 points per game more than last season. Currently, they are in third place with 32 points in 19 rounds – only three points away from the desired second place and direct promotion.
Zaragoza vs Real Oviedo pick: Both teams to score
Zaragoza are in terrible form, failing to win in the last seven games. Still, they are scoring regularly and have scored in five of those seven matches, regardless of the results. Moreover, they scored in 12 out of 14 last matches in all competitions - 86%, so we believe they can score at home against pretty much anyone in the league.
Real Ovidedo won back-to-back games against Granada and Ferrol while scoring seven goals - 3.5 per game. So, it is fair to expect at least a goal from them at this moment. On the other hand, Ovideo have been really bad away from home defensively, and it is unreal to expect a clean sheet. They failed to keep their net intact in the last four road matches while allowing nine goals - 2.25 per game.
Considering all the above, we believe that both teams to score bets should be the safest option for this La Liga 2 tie.

Zaragoza team news
Midfielder Keidi Bare served his one-game suspension in the previous game against Eibar and will be available for the upcoming game. He has started in the previous three La Liga 2 games and will most likely be back in the starting lineup.
Samed Bazdar and Andres Borge, who missed the previous game(s), should remain sidelined with their injuries, while Sebastian Kosa is questionable.

Real Oviedo team news
Midfielder Jaime Seoane suffered an injury against Ferrol and had to leave the field in the 17th minute. He missed the previous game with Granada because of it and will most likely remain sidelined. It is an unfortunate injury because he had a hamstring injury in late October and early November and has just fully recovered. With him potentially out, Kwasi Sibo could replace him in the starting lineup.
Meanwhile, Alvaro Lemos, who missed the previous games with injury, recovered from his injury and will be available.
