An unequaled duel on Sunday is on the agenda of the Spanish La Liga: promoted SD Huesca welcomes Champions League winner Real Madrid. On paper a clear thing, but the Royal have proved this season more than enough that they are also good for their negative outlooks. His rivals FC Barcelona split Huesca into pieces at the beginning of September, albeit at home in Camp Nou. Real Madrid does not want to lag behind that and also clearly asserts itself on Sunday. In the match between Huesca and Real Madrid, according to the betting odds, the royals are also the clear favorite for a tip to a winner.
Huesca:
Again no goal, again lost: On Thursday Huesca lost the return leg in the sixteenth finals of the Copa del Rey at home against Athletic Bilbao with 0: 4. Already the first leg Huesca had lost away with this result and then finally retired from the competition. Small side note: Athletic Bilbao is ranked 18th in La Liga and thus the first relegation place. Between these two claps Huesca lost in La Liga away at Celta Vigo with 0: 2. The season of the climber started hopefully. Huesca, who had been relegated to the league, won 2-1 at the first round of the new season in La Liga at the SD Eibar. This victory is dated 19.08.2018. It should remain the only one today. Since the three-way to the season opener Huesca has remained in the subsequent and at the same time last fifteen competitive matches without further victory. Eleven of these fifteen competitive games have lost Huesca, four times there was a draw.
In La Liga is the climber with a record of a victory, the four draws and nine bankruptcies in last place. Already the residue on the saving bank is seven points. Huesca is not only the worst home and away team, but is also the weakest defensive in La Liga with a total of 29 conceded goals. On the credit side are twelve specially scored goals. Only two teams ever scored less. The biggest debacle experienced Huesca probably on 02.09.2018 when the promoted at Barcelona lost 2-8 under the wheels. Season and competition Huesca has won none of his last nine competitive matches in his own stadium. There is little evidence that this ends on Sunday. In the game of Huesca against Real Madrid brings a hint on home win partial betting odds in the double-digit range.
Real Madrid:
With a B-Elf Real Madrid prevailed during the week in the second leg of the sixteenth final of the Copa del Rey against amateur club Melilla. In the end, it was 6: 1 for the Royal, for which again Isco was used and met twice. Traded as hopeful after the era of Cristiano Ronaldo spent the Spaniard under new coach Santiago Solari most of the time on the bench. The dissatisfaction of Isco ensures that now some clubs have their feelers extended to him – also from the Bundesliga. The superstars were spared during the week anyway. Even if the last matchday is in the Champions League next week, it is unlikely that the regulars will get a break on Sunday. Because in the premier class Real Madrid is already determined as a group winner. In La Liga, on the other hand, Real Madrid are in dire need of victory in order to continue building pressure on the top spots.
Real Madrid is still only in fifth place in La Liga and thus not even in a Champions League place. But even the backlog of leaders Barcelona is human again with five points. This looked a bit different after the 1: 5 pack in the Clasico at the end of October. If you look at the away table, you have to search for a long time until you find Real Madrid, if you go through this table from top to bottom. Because only on rank 13 of the away table you will find the Royal. Of his seven away games in La Liga, Real Madrid have won only two. In addition, there was a draw and four defeats! By comparison, in the last season Real Madrid conceded only three defeats on the opponent’s place and a total of only six. In his last away game in La Liga Real Madrid went down 3-0 in the SD Eibar. And yet: In the match of Real Madrid at Huesca, the betting odds are clearly swinging from a tip to an away win.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.74
