Real Zaragoza vs. Real Valladolid: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 6, 2025

This Saturday, matchday 4 in the Spanish Segunda features Real Zaragoza hosting Real Valladolid at the Ibercaja stadium. Here’s a look at what to expect in this matchup.

Match preview

Real Zaragoza have had a challenging start to the season, earning only one point from their first three matches. They drew 1-1 in their last game against Castellón, where they were close to winning but let the chance slip away late in the match. The team is struggling with defense and a lack of goal-scoring ability.

Playing at home usually boosts Zaragoza’s confidence, but missing key players like Cosa and Pomares makes it harder for them to secure a win. On the other hand, their opponents are performing well, posing a significant challenge for Zaragoza.

Real Valladolid have begun the season strongly with two wins and a draw, and they have yet to concede a goal. Their solid defense was evident in a 3-0 win over Ceuta and a narrow 1-0 victory against Castellón. This stability positions them well for a potential return to La Liga.

Pay attention to Valladolid’s offense: Ndiaye has scored twice, with Chuki and Biuk supporting the attack from the sides. The coaching staff is managing player rotations efficiently, keeping the team fresh in the latter stages of matches. Even when playing away, Valladolid appears to be the favorite.

Probable lineups

• Real Zaragoza: Ratón; Fran James, Llanes, Luna, Francesco; Sanz, Serrano, Mecherovich; Bázdar, Gómez, Larrázabal
