SD Huesca

DWDWDW 📈

SD Huesca come into this encounter after a 3-0 La Liga 2 win as they beat Burgos in their most recent match.

The trend of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games involving SD Huesca has become evident of late. Examining their last six games shows that it’s occurred 6 times. In those clashes, their opponents have managed a goal aggregate of 0 and SD Huesca have scored 8. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, however.

Their previous form shows that SD Huesca:

• have not won against Albacete in away games against them for the last 6 league games. Not good at all.
• are unbeaten in their previous 6 league matches away from home.
• are without an away win for the past 2 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Albacete

The Albacete boss Rubén Albés will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this game with a fully healthy group available to choose from.

It looks as if Queso Mecánico should use the 4-3-3 formation for the game and select Tomas Vaclik, Carlos Isaac, Kaiky Melo, A. Cristian Glauder, Julio Alonso, Rai Marchán, Lander Olaetxea, Agus Medina, Juanma, Alberto Quiles and Manuel Fuster.

ℹ️ Team News: SD Huesca

Thanks to a completely healthy squad ready to go, the SD Huesca boss Antonio Hidalgo has zero fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash.

We’re of the thinking that Oscenses will likely elect for a 4-3-3 lineup using Álvaro Fernández, Juanjo Nieto, Jorge Pulido, Jérémy Blasco, Ignasi Vilarrasa, Kento Hashimoto, Oscar Sielva, Javi Martinez, Gerard Valentín, E. Zorrilla Jiménez and Hugo Vallejo.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that SD Huesca would be disappointed if they were not to break down this Albacete outfit, although that may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Albacete at full-time. Should be a good one.
