Real Valladolid vs Huesca: Head-to-head
Outfits have five wins apiece coming into their 13th head to head meeting.
They both picked up narrow home wins in the previous term of Segunda Division.
Both teams scored in just one of last four head to head affairs.
At home, Valladolid won 4 and lost 2 of 6 matches against Huesca.
Real Valladolid vs Huesca: Prediction
The visitors have actually never recovered from a painful 8-2 defeat to Barcelona in the third round. The loss at Camp Nou triggered a streak of three consecutive defeats which saw Leonardo Franco’s men fail to score a single goal along.
The momentum was somehow improved last weekend when Huesca managed to fight out to a 1-1 draw to Girona at home. Still, their build-up play was really poor in the Blanquivermell clash and their lone goal came from the penalty spot 18 minutes from time.
Based on the current form and the H2H trend (home wins mainly), we have to fancy Pucela to claim the spoils and keep climbing up the Primera Division ladder
