Villarreal B vs SaragozzaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Villarreal B come into this test having taken something from four of their last five outings: a 3-1 win at Eldense, a 2-0 at home to Zamora and another 2-0 against Sevilla Atletico, with a 1-1 draw at Sanluqueño in between and one setback, the 0-2 they collected away at Zamora. The common thread is how short the scorelines stay, never more than four goals in a single match. Zaragoza have alternated instead. Two narrow wins, 2-1 away at UD Logroñés and 2-1 against Real Sociedad B, then a 0-1 home defeat to FC Andorra and a 1-2 against Barbastro, before the 2-0 over Utebo. The pattern is similar, with three of those five games finishing below three goals in total. The four previous meetings say much the same. A goalless draw at Villarreal in February 2024, a 2-0 in Aragon in August 2023, a 2-1 in October 2022 and only the 2-3 of January 2023 going past three strikes. Three times out of four the final count stopped at three goals or fewer. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
