On March 29, 2026, in the 32nd round of the Spanish Segunda División, Zaragoza will host league leaders Racing Santander. The outsiders will look to defend their home ground, while Racing aims to recover after a heavy defeat in the previous round.
Team News and Form
Zaragoza, from Aragon, finished 18th last season and are struggling again this year. Wins against Cadiz and Almería provided temporary relief, but recent defeats—including a loss to Deportivo—have left the team dangerously close to the relegation zone. The side averages just 0.87 goals scored per game while conceding 1.39.
Racing Santander, who finished fifth last season and lost in the first playoff round, are currently the sole leaders of the Segunda. Despite a 0-4 defeat to Albacete in the last round, Racing averages 2 goals scored and 1.42 conceded per game. This is a team motivated to regain momentum and secure promotion.
Previous Meetings
In the last seven head-to-head clashes, both Zaragoza and Racing have won three times each. With the league leaders looking to bounce back, they are favored in this encounter. Betting on Racing with a "0" Asian handicap is suggested (odds – 1.70).
