Team News
Real Zaragoza
Valencia
- Defeat to Osasuna last weekend leaves Zaragoza in a precarious position above the relegation zone.
- Rubén Rochina made his debut following the strikers loan move from Blackburn Rovers, the former Barcelona youngster will likely be deployed out-wide once again, while Helder Postiga is back from suspension so should start up-front.
- For a side with money troubles, Zaragoza have also been continuously hampered by injuries this season. Javi Álamo, Franco Zuculini, Adriá Carmona, Ivan Obradovic, Glenn Loovens and Romaric are clogging up the treatment table.
- A two-nil victory over Real Mallorca was enough to keep the fans happy at the final whistle, with Ernesto Valverde later admitting the Mestalla crowd can make it difficult for his players due to their demanding nature.
- Tino Costa is out of this one after his red card, forcing his team to play for over an hour with just ten men. Club captain David Albelda is back to replace him.
- Adil Rami is injured, so the centre-back partnership is likely to consist of Ricardo Costa and Victor Ruíz.
