Osasuna vs Real Zaragoza Match Preview
Zaragoza visit the Reyno de Navarro in what could be a decisive game for the relegation fight for both squads. Osasuna has claimed the full scoring the last three times both teams faced each other in the Primera Division.A defeat might leave Osasuna behind the relegation line is Malaga secures three points against Atletico, while not even a victory can save Zaragoza from the bottom position.
The game will have an additional flavor for Zaragoza's new coach Javier Aguirre, for his past links him to Osasuna only five years ago. The hosts will have to do without Walter Pandiani and Javier Camuñas, two decisive players to lead team's attack. Jose Antonio Camacho should take advantage of Maños' defensive problems, as they've received 27 goals in 15 Liga matches so far.
Zaragoza's head coach will be missing Gabi and Maurizio Lanzaro for this clash, both banned from performing. Marco Perez might not be fully fit to perform, just like Sinama Pongolle.
Their absence would greatly undermine Blancos' offensive firepower. Let's not forget Zaragoza has only won one game so far in the competition.
Two direct rivals for the category take on each other on Sunday's evening. A six-pointer for the bottom fight, is Zaragoza still alive in the basement?

Osasuna vs Real Zaragoza Match Report
Zaragoza's coach Javier Aguirre rescued an important point at the Reyno de Navarra, though not enough to save los Maños from the bottom position, with 10 points after 16 Liga games. Zaragoza's goalkeeper Leo Franco was the star of the match, denying Osasuna's strikers every attempt to secure the game.The hosts were far superior and could have made enough merits to secure the full scoring. Osasuna lacked offensive ideas, relying heavily on their aerial superiority to score the opener. Serbian international Dejan Lekic's lack of accuracy cost Osasuna two important points to climb even further away from the relegation line.
Zaragoza drifted in the midfield until Jorge Lopez replaced Nicolas Bertolo in the right wing, sharpening the attack and making meaningful contributions to Blancos' attack. In the 75th minute of the game, Pinter challenged Walter Aranda inside the box but the referee ignored the foul.
Jose Antonio Camacho's Osasuna failed to take advantage of Zaragoza-s basement boys. Osasuna finishes the year in the 14th position with 17 points.
