Venue: Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes (23156 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Granada are in the 8th position while the guesting Huesca worry at 20th.

Insights:
  • Granada have scored in all their home matches so far.
  • Huesca has the fewest scored goals in the first half (2) in La Liga

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus PSV, was also a home game here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes. The away team is better rested.

Granada form and stats

3 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Granada have to build on here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes in the La Liga. Granada has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager D. Martínez Penas and the players.

The Granada fans got no joy from their last match, a Europa League game also here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes: A 0-1 defeat against PSV. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Celta de Vigo (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Granada perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Granada as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Granada has won nine of these, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Granada as they are travelling to their away game against PAOK in the Europa League. That match is four days after this one.

Granada are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. Granada's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Huesca form and stats

Huesca have only collected 4 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 0-4-2 (6 played). Huesca are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Sporting Gijón fixture.

The manager M. Sánchez Muñoz was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga match played at their home ground Estadio El Alcoraz. Huesca suffered a 0-1 loss to Sevilla (placed 5th). Before that, Huesca travelled to Osasuna and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Huesca playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Huesca win, one draw and three defeats.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Huesca have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
