Real Zaragoza hit form with three straight wins and clean sheets at home

Real Zaragoza are gaining momentum thanks to a clear trend in results: three straight wins. According to Sport, last Sunday’s victory helped break a bad run that had lasted ten months.

Clean sheets at home

What really sets them apart, the outlet says, is their home record at the Ibercaja Estadio: a perfect streak of wins with a clean sheet at home. In their two most recent home games, the blanquillos won 1-0 against Cartagena and then 1-0 again versus Antequera, collecting six points as hosts.

Sport adds that only a couple of other teams in the group match similar figures for now: Sant Andreu and Real Madrid Castilla. Both still have a head-to-head pending as part of the fourth round schedule.

From an early slip to the playoff zone

The start wasn’t easy. In the opening match, Zaragoza lost 2-0 to Nàstic de Tarragona. After that, Sport reports that coach Ibai Gómez reshaped both the defense and the forward setup, and the adjustment has carried the team into the upper areas: they sit one point behind the top, in the playoff positions with nine points from twelve.

Next comes a real test away from their stronghold: Zaragoza play Ibiza. As the article frames it, the key question is whether Ibai Gómez’s side can carry that same confidence and solidity on the road, or whether their best form is still tied to the Ibercaja Estadio.
