It's the second chance for points this league season as Huesca and FC Cartagena cross swords at Estadio El Alcoraz.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

W W W L D

Huesca form and stats

In the previous season, Huesca's league statistics were 7 wins, 13 draws and 18 losses, producing 18th position in the La Liga. During these 38 matches they scored 34 goals and gave away 53. Appearing as the home team in the former season Huesca produced 5-7-7 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 21 conceded. The hosts won their first La Liga 2 game here at Estadio El Alcoraz, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Huesca last season were 5 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses from 19 games.

The Huesca goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez Llorente is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 334 minutes without conceding a goal in the La Liga 2.

Huesca's last game was hosting Eibar (placed 22nd) and winning 2-0. Defender Jorge Pulido got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.95/10. Pulido served one assist, hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a La Liga home game that ended 0-0 versus Valencia.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Huesca handle that role? We have found 13 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are ten wins, one draw and two defeats.

Huesca has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

FC Cartagena form and stats

Let's have a look at how FC Cartagena performed last season in the La Liga 2: They landed a 16th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 13 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 44 and conceded 52 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 6 and lost 11 with 17/29 goals scored/conceded.

Cartagena's previous game was their home loss versus Almería (1-3). Antonio Luna was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.45. The defender Luna scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 5 of 8 duels. It's a bit worrying for Cartagena that their goalkeeper Marc Martinez made six saves in the Almería game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

A draw for Cartagena before that, at their own venue hosting Girona (1-1).

FC Cartagena are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, four draws and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's one Huesca victory, one draw and five FC Cartagena wins. Over/under statistics; zero of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
