Zaragoza looks to ride its momentum

Real Zaragoza and Deportivo Alavés will open matchday eleven of the Liga Adelante on Saturday in a match that the team from Aragon will hope offers a chance to continue its recent streak of results at the expense of the Basque outfit, who lost their last match to FC Barcelona B

Paco Herrera, the home manager, comes into the match without Paco Montañés and Mario Paglialunga, but the striker Ángelo Henríquez will be available to face the Basque side. Zaragoza are unbeaten since the 29th of September, when they fell to Liga Adelante leaders, RC Recreativo de Huelva.

For his part, Natxo González, the Basque coach, will travel to Aragon with several names on his list of injuries. Iván Crespo, Unai Medina, Pepe Mora, Gorka Laborda and Ion Vélez will all miss the clash as they are recovering from their respective injuries. The side from Vitoria is currently seventeenth in the league with twelve points from ten matches.
