The need for victory for both teams, due to how much they play, anticipates that the Aragonese derby with historical and high-voltage characters between the Real Zaragoza and the Huesca It will only leave one of them satisfied in search of the dreamed direct promotion to First, although none will be ruled out to do so via the playoffs. If those of Victor Fernandez they don't lose against the Huescans they will unseat the Cadiz from first place.
The difficulty of winning at home that is being demonstrated in the return to competition after the coronavirus pandemic without the possibility of having the support of spectators leaves in mere anecdote that the confrontation between Zaragoza and Huesca is in The Romareda.
The zaragocistas know that with the victory, which would also leave them as leaders alone, they would reduce the number of applicants to the two direct promotion positions to almost almost three, and for Huesca, the three points will allow them to increase the pressure on Cádiz, Real Zaragoza and Almería, to play those two positions.
The goal for the Zaragoza coach, Victor Fernandez, will be to ensure that their men are capable of achieving both the performance and the capacity they have shown in front of their rivals in their displacements to overcome a direct rival in the fight for promotion and that to do so would leave only three clear candidates for the two places of direct promotion to the Santander League.
For the technical manager, the advantage to receive the Huescans lies in being able to count on all the players he is using in the last matches, which would allow him to repeat the eleven that hit the pitch against Extremadura, and to add two players that, still It has not been confirmed that they can play, but that due to their evolution they could do so as they are the side Carlos Vigaray and the attacker Javi Puado.
With Vigaray and Puado at their disposal, two men considered fundamental in the Zaragoza game scheme and who have missed the last games due to physical problems, the options for Víctor Fernández multiply to even vary the tactical approach and change positions to one of the players, in addition to allowing him to dose the efforts for his players, something that with the accumulation of matches can acquire decisive value in the coming weeks.
For their part, the Catalans ended up emotionally touched in the last game against the leader, the Cadiz, after fitting the goal of the tie in the extension time, since they either fail to add all the points they wanted or they do not know how to close those matches that are within reach.
The alignment that the Huesca This Monday against Real Zaragoza, in the game that will close the 36th day, it is difficult to foresee since in every match the Barca coach, Michel Sánchez, he is making many changes in the eleven, since so far he has moved between five and eight variations in each encounter.
In the goal will be Alvaro Fernandez, and in the defense the continuous changes are not sitting well because in all the matches there are mistakes that cost points, although Jorge Pulido is the undisputed starter and will be in the center of the defense possibly with Insua or Josué Sá. On the sides, maybe Michel will bet on the veterans Pedro López on the right, and Luisinho on the left, although the penalty committed against Cádiz may take its toll on the Portuguese player to benefit Javi Galán.
Midfield, the coach of the Huesca to count on Mosquera, and Mikel Rico, along with Eugeni, or Juan Carlos, although Cheick Doukouré, is also playing more and more in the last days, and can return to be part of the starting lineup, especially if he wants to contain the whole game hand in the center of the field that is where it worries the most to be able to block the creation of the plays through Eguarás and Guti.
In front David Ferreiro and Rafa MirBecause of their state of form, especially center forward Mir, they have more options to play tomorrow along with Sergio Gómez, who is waiting for his chance.
