Huesca form and stats

Huesca's struggle is real here at Estadio El Alcoraz with only 18 points collected from 18 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 4-6-8.

Huesca lost their last game at Real Betis after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Valencia that was lost 2-6.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Huesca have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 5 Lost 3.

Huesca are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 22 goals in 18 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Huesca defense is not exactly impregnable. 29 goals conceded from 18 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga home defeat versus Espanyol with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Sevilla at their stadium, the result 3-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leganés playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 3 Leganés wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
