Hospitalet vs Zaragoza prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 29, 2024
One of the second-round Copa del Rey matches will take place on Tuesday at the Feixa Llarga arena, where local club Hospitalet will host Zaragoza. I suggest placing a bet with an excellent handicap on the winner.
Hospitalet
The "Coastals" head into the match against Zaragoza following a draw at home against Molerussa in the Tercera División. After conceding a goal late in the first half, Hospitalet managed to equalize only in the 83rd minute. This draw marked the team's third consecutive stalemate, with only one loss in eight matches this season.
Currently, the team occupies seventh place in Group 5 of the Tercera División, trailing the top five by just one point. Notably, Hospitalet has not lost at home since early June, securing three victories in seven matches.
Zaragoza
The days when the "Aragonians" won the Cup Winners' Cup in the mid-'90s are long gone. In the 2000s, Zaragoza added two more Copa del Rey trophies to their collection, but the level of play has gradually declined, leading to their relegation to the Segunda, where they have been playing for several seasons now.
Heading into the match against Hospitalet, the team is coming off a home defeat to Castellón, losing 1-2 last weekend. Currently, Zaragoza sits in fourth place in the standings, having gathered 19 points from 12 matches. Four teams share the same points total, indicating a fiercely competitive battle for promotion to La Liga.

Prediction
Bookmakers offer modest odds of 1.44 for Zaragoza to win. While their opponent has performed well in recent matches, the disparity in levels is significant. We expect a convincing victory for Zaragoza, and our bet is "Zaragoza to win with a handicap (-1.0)" at odds of 1.70.
