  • Valencia have the fewest points (11) away in La Liga

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Huesca form and stats

5 victories, 6 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Huesca have to build on here at Estadio El Alcoraz in the La Liga. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Huesca after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Huesca faced defeat in their previous match, away at Real Betis (0-1). Midfield player David Ferreiro got a match rating of 7.12 in that game, the max score being 10. Ferreiro hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Before that, Huesca had a home game versus Athletic Club which ended with a victory 1-0.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Huesca matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and one defeat (from two games).

Huesca have scored 17 league goals here from 18 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Valencia form and stats

There's been little loot from Valencia's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 18 away games in the La Liga. Valencia, who have the fewest points (11) away in La Liga, only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 5 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Valencia have lost on their last two travels.

Carlos Soler (2) and Gonçalo Guedes (2) scored in Valencia's previous match, the home game against SD Eibar that ended 4-1. Carlos Soler got a match rating of 9.55 in that game, top player of the team. Soler scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 37 successful passes (of 39 total). Valencia goalie Jasper Cillessen was high and low in the SD Eibar game, contributing seven saves towards the victory.

Prior to that match, the Valencia manager S. Gonzalez Marco faced defeat when travelling to Sevilla and losing 0-1.

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 Valencia playing away, we found three games. Results were two away wins, zero draws and one home win.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Valencia as they have only managed to score 16 times from 18 away games in the league. Valencia have conceded 30 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Valencia - Huesca 1-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Huesca won zero games, one match ended with a draw and Valencia has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / one
