The home side are winless in five (D2, L3) and remain 21st in the LaLiga 2 standings with 35 points from 37 matches, while Granada CF are 14th with 45 points from 37 and have won only one of their last five (W1, L4). This Real Zaragoza vs Granada CF preview highlights that Granada CF have lost three away matches in a row, the most recent of which was a 4-1 defeat to Albacete, while Real Zaragoza’s last home match was a 2-2 tie with AD Ceuta FC, a match that highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities.

These sides have each won two and drawn one of their previous five head-to-head meetings in all competitions, but the Real Zaragoza vs Granada CF prediction is that Granada CF have the slight edge and are favoured to defeat Zaragoza in this late game.

Pacheta’s press versus Navarro’s defensive blocks
