"Starting with the hosts, while Real Zaragoza might have dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Segunda status, Los Manos have an almighty battle on their hands. Getting this weekend's fixtures underway sat rock-bottom of the table, Ruben Selles' new squad have continued to show a string of glaring issues. Only putting six points on the board from any of their first 13 Segunda appearances, the former Sheffield United boss has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders."
"Last seen getting completely blown away against Granada as they slumped to a 3-1 defeat, Zaragoza are unsurprisingly pencilled in as the standout relegation contender this season. Including a woeful 5-0 drumming against Cultural Leonesa on October 18th, Sunday's hosts have lost their previous six consecutive Segunda appearances by an aggregate score of 16-3. Likewise, showing a string of glaring defensive struggles, Selles' side have shipped 23 second-tier goals and hold the worst defensive tally in the division."
"As for the visitors, although Huesca might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine promotion charge, Sergi Guillo's side have drastically failed to find any kind of form. Getting this weekend's fixtures underway holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the relegation spots, Los Oscenses are desperately seeking an essential Segunda boost here."
Real Zaragoza sit rock-bottom of the Segunda after collecting just six points from 13 matches and losing six consecutive league games by an aggregate 16-3. Ruben Selles' side have conceded 23 goals, the worst defensive record in the division, and suffered heavy defeats including 5-0 to Cultural Leonesa and 3-1 away at Granada. Huesca began the season with promotion ambitions but have failed to find form, holding only a one-point buffer above the relegation zone. Sergi Guillo's team earned two points from their last five league matches and drew 2-2 at home with Andorra.
