Huesca and Athletic Bilbao meet in a match of La Liga number 24. The confrontation will be played on Monday, at 20:00, on Estadio El Alcoraz.
The two bands are at the 4th duel this season. In the championship tour, Huesca won the match in the Bilbao move, scoring 2-2. The Spanish Cup double had no history, Athletic managed to score 4-0 on both home and away. These three parties were the only official disputes between the two teams.
In spite of the latest results in the championship, the band prepared by Francisco Rodriguez remains on the last position in the La Liga standings, at a distance of 4 points from position 17, Girona.
The last two stages brought two zero wins for Huesca, 4-0 on home with Valladolid and 2-0 away from Girona. Ezequiel Avila was the best scorer for his team in the two games, with three goals, one with Valladolid and two with Girona.
In this game, host technician will not have Luisinho, Gonzalo Melero and Pablo Insua, all three being injured.
The Basque Country band is coming out of this duel after the “white draw” recorded in the field with Barcelona, a duel in which Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, the goalkeeper of the “Catalans”, had an impressive performance, managing to keep the balance. In the current season in La Liga, Bilbao achieved only one success, recording not less than six draws and four defeats.
For the guests will not play in this duel Inigo Lekue, Aritz Aduriz (injured), Dani Garcia and Oscar De Marcos (suspended).
Probable teams:
Huesca: Santamaria – Dieguez, Etxeita, Pulido – Miramon, Herrera, Rivera, Gomez, Galan – Avilla, Gallego;
Athletic Bilbao: Herrerin – Capa, Alvarez, Martinez, Yuri – Jose, Etxebarria – Gomez, Garcia, Muniain – Williams;
Considering the shape of the hosts’ moment, as well as the hardships of the guests in terms of travel, we count on at least one goal scored by Huesca. We also anticipate goals on both sides, making it hard to believe that a team ranked last can record three games in a row without a goal.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1,64
