Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Huesca will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Levante when they take on Cartagena on Thursday evening. Los Azulgranas are eager to escape the relegation zone and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Japan midfielder Kento Hashimoto is banned for the match, with Ivan Martos likely to step up. Defender Gerard Valentin misses out through suspension.
Cartagena, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 15 points on their account. As the rock-bottom side experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Burgos, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Huesca. Cartagena forward Ivan Calero misses the game through suspension, while defender Jairo Izquierdo is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
Highlighted Team (Huesca):
Huesca are a Spanish club that compete in La Liga, the Spanish top flight. The club was originally founded in 1910, but in 1940 it was renamed Union Deportiva. In 1956 the club disappeared due to financial problems, but four years later Sociedad Deportiva Huesca was born. Huesca are well known for their blaugrana colors as their founding members were Barcelona fans.
The club welcome their rivals at El Alcoraz and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 5,500. Despite the fact that El Alcoraz can hold up to 5,500 people in December 2014 7,600 spectators watched the game between Huesca and Barcelona. Huesca will make their first ever appearance in Primera Division in the 2018/2019 season.
The likes of Leo Franco, Luis Sastre and Ruben Castro are some of the most notable footballers that played for Huesca. Real Zaragoza are considered Huesca’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in Derbi Aragones.
