Zaragoza, Atletico Madrid ... Duel of urgency for both teams

The twenty-fourth day of the season tomorrow will offer a duel of emergency in the Romareda Stadium between Real Zaragoza and Atletico Madrid in need of points at a difficult time for both teams, with locations near the relegation zone and visitors too beyond Europe. And has no margin of error rojiblanco, which now has four consecutive defeats in the league, which is out of the fight for the Champions League, fifteen points, who has only won one of their ten games of 2011 officers and tomorrow into a field where only won one of their last eight clashes.

Neither the Zaragoza enjoys a comfortable position this season. Although it has added ten of the last fifteen points in the game, the team is near the Aragonese relegation zone after Sunday's defeat against Hércules (2-1) and increases the importance of the match on Saturday in Romareda.

The victory over the mattress set is the only outcome that warrants further away from the relegation zone, which has only one point of difference. Furthermore, and considering that its closest rivals for the remaining points have been added in recent days and appear to have taken a step forward in difficulty, winning is the only way not to revive the ghosts of the past.

For this meeting zaragocista coach, Javier Aguirre, will feature low Ander Herrera, through suspension, and the injury Lafita and Laguardia. The main novelty of the call zaragocista is the presence of Nigerian Ikechukwu Uche once overcome a knee injury that has kept him paragraph from the September 12, 2009 and who underwent surgery twice, the first of the rupture anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and later of a ruptured medial meniscus.

To receive the entire mattress Javier Aguirre could choose to play with a five-man defense ushering in one of the winter transfer window, Paraguayan Paulo Da Silva, and also might be possible to use two men in attack, although it is something that not seem to have decided a hundred percent Mexican preparer.

Until Zaragoza Atletico comes a crisis, at the eleventh place in the table, its worst since last year, but ready to reverse its complicated situation and best feelings a few weeks ago, after his good game last Saturday against Valencia (1-2), which suffered an undeserved defeat. The template only think of victory in tomorrow's clash, which Quique Sanchez Flores, confirmed in office by the Directors of the Club, include little new in his eleven of them bound by the penalty down the Uruguayan Diego Godin , whose position in the starting team will be for Álvaro Domínguez.

Colombia's Luis Perea will be his guest at the center of defense, the Czech Tomas Ujfalusi, who turned sanction against Valencia, will return to the right side, instead of Juan Valera, and Antonio López will continue on the left. The Brazilian Filipe Luis, having recovered from injury, will start on the bench.

The Portuguese midfielder Tiago Mendes repeated and Raul Garcia, while Jose Antonio Reyes, Atletico's best player in recent games, will be on one end, with the Brazilian Elias Mendes on the other side, but could also Quique include in that position Juanfran Torres or Fran Merida. The front is for the Uruguayan Diego Forlan and Argentine Sergio "Kun" Aguero at goal drought in the last two outings, but two key players in red and white team, needing to score his many victories and reduce the gap to the first six of the rankings, now seven points.

In Zaragoza, however, is not Mario Suarez, who will sanction, as Diego Godin, the two lowest in the call for 19 players for Saturday's meeting, which included Quique Sanchez Flores all their players available. Probable lineups: Real Zaragoza: Leo Franco, Diogo, Jarosik, Da Silva, Contini, Obradovic, Gabi, Ponzio, Boutahar, Braulio and Sinama-Pongolle.
