Real Valladolid to pile on the misery for Huesca

On Friday night, Huesca host Real Valladolid at the Estadio El Alcoraz in La Liga, as the bottom club looks to win back some pride after a terrible campaign.

Huesca are 11 points away from safety and six points behind 19th place Villarreal. A run of just one win in their last 20 league matches has not helped the home sides cause. In fact, Huesca have only ever won two of their La Liga games.

Last time out they drew 0-0 with Real Sociedad at the Anoeta, which considering their previous form was a respectable result. The result in San Sebastian means that they have failed to score in their last three league outings.

Huesca have won just one of their ten home games this season. Their recent home matches in La Liga have at least offered entertainment value, as four of their last five outings on home soil have produced over 2.5 goals.

Real Valladolid have endured an inconsistent La Liga campaign. However, the visitors are just four points clear of the relegation zone, so they cannot afford to slip up against the leagues bottom side.

A 2-1 home win over Celta Vigo in their last league game ended a winless run of five games in the Spanish top-flight, but two wins in 12 games is still not an impressive record in La Liga.

The visitor’s recent La Liga games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.

Valladolid have been poor on their travels of late in the Spanish top-flight, winning just once in six away matches in La Liga. Their recent away matches in La Liga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight games.

Forebet predicts that Real Valladolid will record a victory in a low scoring clash to add to the home side’s woes.
