The Camp Nou hosts the LaLiga Santander’s solitary matchup as hosts Barcelona relegation-threatened Huesca. This is certainly a massive six-pointer as both sides need maximum points for different reasons. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Although it wasn’t a pretty one, the Blaugrana managed to grind out a one-mil victory at Monday’s opponents home turf. Frenkie de Jong’s goal from Messi’s pass in the first half turned out to be the decider as Barcelona opened the year in style. With this victory, they stretched their unbeaten run against their opponents to give games.

One-sided encounter on the cards

Barcelona are currently just six behind league leaders Atletico Madrid on the race for the LaLiga title. In recent weeks, they have been quite impressive, playing the type of football we normally associate with the club. Laporta winning the Barcelona presidential election has certainly brought some fresh air into the club. This was evident in their game against PSG in which the Blaugrana dominated but couldn’t manage to take their chances. Now, they turn their attention to the league when any slip-up at this point could gift Atletico the title.

Huesca were relegated at the end of the 18/19 season but managed to claw their way back to the top divisions in the following year. They find themselves in a similar predicament given that they’re currently at the bottom of the table with just three wins to their name. They were on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller in their most recent game as they got beat by Celta de Vigo. A win in games like this would certainly ramp up their confidence. Can they manage an upset on Monday?
