Real Madrid vs Huesca Predictions & Tips

Real Madrid’s struggles in the Champions League continued with a draw at Borussia Monchengladbach in midweek, but they do come into this clash in high spirits following their 3-1 win over Barcelona in La Liga last week.

The hosts have now won four of their last five games in La Liga and sit just a point behind top-spot holders Real Sociedad with a game in hand. With Barcelona dropping points in three of their five matches so far, taking an early lead in the table could prove crucial to this season’s title race.

Opponents Huesca are yet to win in La Liga this season, but they have proved difficult to break down at times. That can’t be said of their thrashing at Real Sociedad last time out, but the visitors have only lost two of their seven matches and that trip to Sociedad was the first time they conceded more than twice this season.

The problems are clear at the other end of the pitch, though. Huesca have scored just five goals in their seven games so far, and with Real Madrid only conceding four in six they will find it difficult to break Los Blancos down.

For this reason, we’re expecting a fairly low scoring game here. Four of Real Madrid’s six outings this season have featured fewer than three goals and five of Huesca’s seven matches have also been low scoring, making an Under 2.5 goals bet look very appealing.

We do expect the favourites to get the three points as well. They have won to nil in two of their last four league games and have scored 1.5 goals per game on average, so a 2-0 correct score prediction is our choice.
