Real Zaragoza and UD Ibiza will both be looking to bounce back in the Segunda Division as they seek to better their prospects for the season. The two sides face off this weekend, in a clash hosted by Zaragoza, and the clash finds them both in the bottom half of the league standings. Zaragoza heads into this game placed 16th with 18 points while UD Ibiza are rock bottom on 12 points. The hosts are just two points above the relegation zone and this is a key game for them if they want to move further away. They are coming from a 2-2 draw with Burgos, a game they twice let the lead slip, and in the end, finished with 10 men, as Radoslav Petrovic was sent off late on. That was the second Zaragoza player to be sent off in the last three matches, and each of their four matches has seen a player sent off. Zaragoza’s main concern going into this game will be their second half performances; in the last five matches, they’ve conceded six second half goals and both players sent off were also shown second half red cards. They’ve scored three second half goals themselves. In the last five matches, Zaragoza are winless, have failed to score in three of the five and conceded twice in two of the five games.

UD Ibiza have a real chance to rise from the bottom of the league table; a win here could see them leap to 21st and that will be the target for the visitors. Ibiza have lost each of their last two games, their most recent a 1-0 fall at home to FC Andorra, having earlier lost 1-0 away to Villarreal II. In their last five matches they have three losses and the only win they’ve posted in this run was in the Copa del Rey, 2-0 away to Cristo Atletico. Ibiza have failed to score in three of their last five matches, and the only goal they’ve scored in the regular 90 minutes was in the 1-1 draw with Mirandes. Like Zaragoza, most of Ibiza’s goal action has been seen in the second half; three of the five goals conceded in the last five matches have come in the second half. Eight goals have been scored in Ibiza’s last five matches, and only three have been netted in the first half. In their last game, they had Ivan Morante and Papakouli Diop sent off in the second half.
