Real Zaragoza vs. Elche Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Real Zaragoza and Elche, taking place on Sunday, 08 September 2024, at The Estadio de La Romareda in Zaragoza.
Real Zaragoza, Recent Form
Real Zaragoza manager Víctor Fernández will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Mirandes. During that encounter they had 57% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 18 shots on goal.
Fernández will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 8 games at The Estadio de La Romareda.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at The Estadio de La Romareda, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Elche, Recent Form
Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Cordoba in their last league game, Elche will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Cordoba's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Eder Sarabia will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 15 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
