Huesca vs Elche Predictions and Betting Tips
We are in for quite a game in the LaLiga Santander this Friday as Huesca look to live out of the relegation zone in their game with Elche. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
This would be only the second top-flight meeting between both sides with a majority of these encounters being in the Spanish second division. In the first, both sides played out a goalless draw in a game that was totally dominated by Huesca. Would it be a lot less profligate this time around?
Relegation six-pointer on the cards
Huesca recorded a monumental 2-0 win against Levante last time out to take them within just two of Friday’s opponents. This would be only their first win in five games as they can now move out of the drop zone with all three points on Friday.
Elche, on the other hand, have vertically struggled this seasons just like their opponents. With just five wins all season, as they find themselves in a relegation scrap and a couple of slips ups from this point forward could be catastrophic. They played out a 1-1 draw at home to Real Betis as both sides went home with a point each.
