A small section of them will be supporting Real Zaragoza. Despite the match being played on Sunday at 6:15 p.m. and the two cities being more than 500 kilometers apart, the Blanquillo side looks set to have strong support. Away tickets are still on sale for now.
Logically, the vast majority of fans will support Real Murcia. They continue to mobilize ahead of this match, which corresponds to Matchday 8 of Primera Federación. The date—Sunday, October 18 at 6:15 p.m.—is circled on the calendar in the division. The clash between the Pimentoneros and Real Zaragoza is one of the most attractive fixtures on offer.

So the logical consequence is that the match has generated tremendous excitement. With season tickets and tickets issued so far, more than 21,000 seats have already been taken for the fixture. There are still seats available before reaching the more than 31,000 places at La Nueva Condomina.
CRESTS WITH HISTORY
This week, Real Murcia launched the slogan “Crests with history” ahead of their match against Real Zaragoza. It is worth remembering that the Pimentonero side also has a place in Spanish football history. In fact, it is known as the King of the Second Division because it is the team that has won the most titles in that tier. Specifically, it has eight titles in its trophy cabinet and has competed for a total of 18 seasons in the top flight. This is not a typical team for the division.
This Sunday, the two sides meet with top spot at stake. The match is hugely important, even though it is still only Matchday 8. But there are factors that are already worth bearing in mind: the first goal difference, leader status, beating a direct rival… It is no small matter.
