There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Del Rey game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Sporting Gijón. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Huesca form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Huesca have managed 3 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games.

The Huesca fans got no joy from their last match, a Copa Del Rey game also here at Estadio El Alcoraz: A 0-1 defeat against Girona (placed 8th). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Escriche for missing a penalty kick versus Girona in the 74th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Buffarini, defender, was given a rating of 7.83/10 in that game, top of the team. Buffarini hit two key passes and won 6 of 7 duels.

1-1 away at Sporting Gijón before that.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Huesca's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.

The Huesca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Huesca are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio El Alcoraz in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.

Alcorcón form and stats

There's been little loot from Alcorcón's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 10 away games in the La Liga 2. Alcorcón only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 0 draws. Alcorcón are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Burgos fixture.

There might be some fixture complaints from Alcorcón as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Copa Del Rey match against Sporting Gijón (after extra-time) (1-2). It is a concern for Alcorcón that their goalkeeper Suárez made eight saves in the Sporting Gijón (after extra-time) game, but still couldn't rescue them from a defeat. Suárez was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.85. The agile goalkeeper Suárez stopped the opponent with eight saves.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting FC Cartagena in the La Liga 2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Alcorcón playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, one draw and one home win.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Alcorcón rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head
