Real Zaragoza host Las Palmas at the Estadio de la Romareda in the Spanish Segunda Division on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Real Zaragoza are currently 17th in the league, four points off the relegation zone. Juan Ignacio Martinez's side have been in woeful form of late and have failed to win any of their last eight games across all competitions. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Las Palmas on Saturday.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, are currently seventh in the league, with a win potentially taking them up to sixth. Pepe Mel's side have also been in inconsistent form recently, having won only one of their last five games. They will look to bounce back with a win against Zaragoza on Saturday.
Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
