In the last five games that Huesca played at home, for the national championship, four of them scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match the Huesca will return to make an open game and with several goals, since they can score their goals, to play at home, but they can also suffer goals once more.

In the current season, the team is doing an irregular campaign, so much that it has conquered only 14 of the 45 points played so far, thus being at the bottom of the table, with the same score as the first team within the zone of decline. In the last five games that Villarreal played as a visitor, for more than one competition, three of them scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match, despite playing away from home, Villarreal will be able to score goals, to face a more fragile opponent, and favor an open game.
