Real Madrid vs Real Zaragoza

6/1- The first half of the season was magical for the league leaders and the defending champions and they are already 7 points clear of the second placed Barcelona, hence their aim in the beginning of the new year and the second half of the season would be to continue this form and further increase the gap to ensure a comfortable position at the top. They have won 5 matches in a row before the holiday break and the last one being the all important match against Barcelona, where Real Madrid defeated the home team inn style with a score line reading 0-1. On the other hand Real Zaragoza standing at 9th place on the points table were having a rough time and have not been able to register a win in the last 7 matches. In fact they have drawn 4 and lost 3 of their 7 encounters. Their last match ended as a home draw against Valencia.

Real Madrid are running high on form and have won all matches playing at home and this looks to be no different, with all their strikers fit and in form the champions should not be worried about anything more than their own game. It should be a regular day in the field and the home team would end up with all the points in the kitty. Raul, Van Nistel Rooy and Robinho would be expected to score and the threat from Baptista cannot be ignored either.

Real Zaragoza on the other hand would be more than happy if offered a point in advance as they would be aware that in their current form they might not even be able to get that as well playing against a side like Real Madrid. The tie between the two Reals should be a more so one sided affair.

Prediction: 3-0. Real Madrid win
