SD Huesca will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 2-1 La Liga 2 loss in their previous game against Racing Ferrol.
In that match, SD Huesca managed 36% possession and 3 shots on goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for SD Huesca was Javi Martínez (40'). At the other end, Racing Ferrol had 10 shots at goal with 2 on target. Álvaro Giménez (54') and Nico Serrano (65') scored for Racing Ferrol.
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that not much more can be done by the SD Huesca rearguard. SD Huesca have been mean at the back, with the number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past six games standing at 3. We will see if that trend will end up being continued on in this game.
Looking at the pre-match facts, SD Huesca:
- haven't lost in the league to Real Zaragoza in their previous 2 matches.
- are undefeated in their last 5 home league matches.

The numbers tell their own story, and Real Zaragoza have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals in total. Defensively, Real Zaragoza certainly have room for improvement.
Looking at their past form shows that Real Zaragoza:
- have not beaten SD Huesca when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not the best of away records.
- remain undefeated by SD Huesca when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
- are without a win away from home in their last 13 league matches. They must be getting so desperate.

Team News: SD Huesca
The SD Huesca boss Antonio Hidalgo does not have any fitness worries at all coming into this match with a completely healthy squad to pick from.
It looks as if Oscenses look set to line up in a 4-3-3 system this time with Álvaro Fernández, Miguel Loureiro, Jérémy Blasco, Jorge Pulido, Ignasi Vilarrasa, Iker Kortajarena, Kento Hashimoto, Javi Martinez, Gerard Valentín, E. Zorrilla Jiménez and Hugo Vallejo.

Team News: Real Zaragoza
Real Zaragoza boss Víctor Fernández has to currently contend with reduced team options. Francho Serrano (Back injury), Andrés Borge (Torn knee ligaments) and Raúl Guti (Partial patellar tendon tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
It’s our belief that Blanquillos could decide to utilise a 4-4-2 lineup, starting Edgar Badia, Santiago Mouriño, Alejandro Frances, Jair Amador, Quentin Lecoeuche, Germán Valera, Marc Aguado, Toni Moya, Maikel Mesa, Sinan Bakis and Iván Azón.
