I'm torn over whether or not to back Zaragoza tonight. The price is terrible (down to evens now), presumably based on the team news - Madrid resting Casillas and Raul, Gago and Robben are injured, while Pepe and Heinze are suspended. Schuster has also said this week that while he's never known a player that wants to lose a match, there's no way they can match the motivation of Zaragoza for this match, which sounds to me suspiciously like he's getting the excuses in early.
Talk of a potential bonus on offer to the Madrid players from Zaragoza's rivals (allegedly happens every year at this stage of the season), but with no disrespect to Osasuna or Huelva, they're not exactly loaded, and I find it hard to believe they could offer Madrid's millionaires enough money to even tempt them to get out of bed, never mind actually bother trying to win a game, so I think that's a bit of a no-goer.
Zaragoza's home record is pretty impressive, and Sevilla, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid have all been beaten here this season. They're certainly capable of winning this one, and Madrid seem to be laying it on a plate for them to do so. Still a shit price though
