Watch Zaragoza - Osasuna Match Live at justintv - Zaragoza vs Osasuna - Last weekend Zaragoza missed a fine opportunity to take three points against rock-bottom Malaga, in spite of the fact that they had the minimum lead and that they were superior during most of the game. Osasuna have gone over a month without winning in the league, while last weekend they were an easy prey for inspired Valencia.


Tradition on home side

Experienced Ewerthon put Zaragoza up front against indisposed Malaga and if Paredes didn't earn the second yellow card after that, they would have probably reached the first away triumph this season. Zaragoza are a completely different team at their La Romareda, where they dropped only one point so far, so they should have an easy task against Osasuna that are not so good as visitors. The tradition also favours the hosts, as they lost to Osasuna only twice so far and won six times and we expect the tradition to continue this weekend, while Paddy Power offer 1.30 for the hosts not to lose.


Team best striker, Uche is injured which detracts from the materialization but even so, Zaragoza have already scored 15 goals this season. After three years spent in La Coruna, Angel Lafita is back to his parent club, where he played only eight games. In the last four games, Lafita scored two goals and confirmed to be the biggest boost for the team this season. Excellent Spaniard is in great form and he is yet to shine, which is why you might want to back him in this game as Blue Square offer 3.70 for Lafita to score.

Juanfran recovered from swine flu

In less than an hour Osasuna were three goals down against Valencia last weekend in front of their fans. Pamplona side, lead by Camacho were furious with the referees in the mentioned game, especially in the very finish when they were left without two of their best players, Pandiani and Flano, who honestly didn't deserve the second yellow and red card. Osasuna already have problems playing away and having in mind that this weekend they are up against traditionally dangerous hosts, as well as that they won’t be able to count on their best scorer, we think that Betfair's offer of 2.75 for the hosts to keep a clean sheet seems tempting.

Good news for Camacho is the recovery of Juanfran, who was down with swine flu. Still the back line will definitely miss regular defender Migel Flano, so the coach will give the chance to Brazilian Roversio to make his debut for the A squad. Having in mind that Osasuna have so far conceded at least one goal in each away game, as well as that the back line will be weaker, you might want to think about Sporting bet’s offer of 2.10 for the visitors to concede over 1.5 goals.


Betting verdict

Zaragoza, as well as their opponent are not so good away, while on the other hand they are one of the best hosts in Primera. Osasuna have gone over a month without winning in Primera and having in mind that they will have to do without some key defenders and strikers, they will most likely struggle to avoid the fourth away defeat this season.
