Real Sociedad to dent Huesca’s survival hopes
SD Huesca vs Real Sociedad - 01/05/2021
2512
On Saturday evening Real Sociedad visit Huesca, in a game that could have a big effect on La Liga’s European qualification spots and also the fight for survival.
The home team are 19th place in La Liga, three points from safety in the Spanish top-flight. A three-game losing streak in La Liga has hindered Huesca’s chances of escaping the drop zone.
A lack of goals has been a crucial factor in recent games, as they have failed to score in any of their last three league outings.
While scoring goals has been a problem of late, it is at the other end of the pitch that the home side has struggled all season. In fact, only two teams have conceded more goals than Pacheta’s team in La Liga.
A poor home record has not helped SD Huesca’s chances of survival either, as they have won just two of their last ten league outings on home soil.
In striker Rafa Mir they at least have a striker capable of being a matchwinner, as the former Wolves forward has scored 12 times in 33 La Liga appearances this season.
Real Sociedad are fifth-place in the Spanish top-flight, occupying one of the Europa League spots. However, La Real are four points ahead of seventh-place Villarreal in the fight for continental football for next season.
Imanol Alguacil’s team look to have rediscovered their top form at just the right time, as the team from San Sebastian head into this game on the back of two straight league wins over Celta Vigo and Eibar.
The visitor's La Liga form away from home has been inconsistent of late, as a record of just two wins from their last seven away games illustrates.
Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will strengthen their chances of European football by recording a victory in a relatively low-scoring encounter.
