Huesca v Real Zaragoza Tips

This Aragon derby is a proper relegation six-pointer, but don't expect a classic. Both Oltra and Navarro are dealing with decimated squads. Huesca losing captain Pulido is a massive blow to their backline, while Zaragoza’s midfield is basically in the treatment room. Given both sides have been goal-shy all term, it’s going to be a cagey, nervy scrap. Neither can afford to lose, so expect a low-quality stalemate where caution trumps ambition.

Zaragoza this season: the last 4 games produced more than 6 goals, and today they are favorites against home team Huesca. The last 4 games played between them offered more than 2 goals easily each time, with both sides scoring.

Neither side can afford to drop points today, as both sides are in the drop zone. Therefore, a score draw at Estadio El Alcoraz is my call. Huesca drew 1-1 in their last two at home, and both sides drew 1-1 here last season. Three of the last four H2Hs at Huesca ended in 1-1 draws, and another one is on the cards.
