Sevilla vs Real Zaragoza

23/2- Sevilla seem to have found the right combination in the last four matches and they have managed to win 3 while they had to settle for a draw against Barcelona a couple of weeks ago. They have managed to occupy the sixth spot and would want to better their performance as the season is moving towards its ending stages. In an attempt to probably make it for the European competitions next year they play hosts to Real Zaragoza this week. While the previous encounter between the two sides, earlier this season went in favour of Real Zaragoza, playing at home the overall record between the teams is even as both have won 8 matches of the 21 played between the sides in the past 15 years. The biggest concern for the visiting team will be their away form this season, though Zaragoza is on the 10^th spot as per the points it is the second worst performing team away from home with just a single victory and 7 losses.

Sevilla go into this match as a confident unit after they were able to beat Espanyol 2-4 in an away tie last week. Also the combination of Fabiano and Kanoute has worked tremendously well for them in the front. They are one of the best attacking sides in Laliga and are second in the number of goals scored this season only after the leaders, Real Madrid. They would have to concentrate on their defence but looking at their home record this season there would not be much to worry about for them.

Real Zaragoza on the other hand would be desperate for some points as they have not got any in the last two matches which they lost. Their last week’s home loss to Barcelona would have been highly disappointing and the side will try and get a point of this tie at least.

Prediction: 2-1, Sevilla win
