As the Segunda Division heads towards the midpoint, Burgos are looking to actualize their promotion dream and will be targeting three points when Real Zaragoza visits in their next game. The two sides are operating from opposite ends in the league table, Burgos second on 30 points while Real Zaragoza are 16th with 17 points. Burgos are just a point behind league leaders Alaves and will hope to finish the weekend top of the league table. They are coming from a 1-0 win over Racing Santander, their fourth undefeated game in the last five outings. Their only defeat in the last five matches was the 1-0 fall at home to Tenerife and they will be looking to avoid losing to another team in the lower reaches of the league. Burgos boast of the best defence in the league, having conceded just four times in their opening 16 matches. It is also reflected in their recent matches; they’ve conceded one goal in the last five matches and they have three wins in that run. However, they’ve failed to score more than a goal in the last three matches.
Real Zaragoza on their part, aren’t doing so well. They come into this game just a point above the relegation zone and they haven’t been scoring much in recent games. In their last four matches, they are winless, and have failed to score in three of them. Their most recent game ended 1-1 at home to Malaga; it was the fourth straight game they failed to keep a clean sheet, and they have just one if the last nine matches. Six times in the last 10 matches, Zaragoza have failed to score and nine of their last 10 matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Their away run isn’t inspiring either; Real Zaragoza have lost five of their last six away matches and coming into this one, they’ve failed to score in four of their last five away games.
These two sides are far apart in terms of quality this season but one common thing about them is that they haven’t been scoring a lot of goals. Burgos stand out because of their defensive solidity and that is probably the big quality they bring into this game. Real Zaragoza have been poor defensively, though they haven’t been conceding a lot of goals so under 2.5 goals with a Burgos win can pass here.
