Huesca vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting tips
Undoubtedly, the process will be fought in the midfield, since the two teams are even and can be neutralized throughout the 90 minutes of play. For this reason and knowing that “azulgranas” and “rojillos” stand out for being competitive between the lines, we believe that the bet “minus 2.5 goals” is interesting to bet. It paints to be a closed and tactical duel, since both sets are immersed in the preseason. In addition they are known of Liga2, having a more or less similar level, beyond which the local one has obtained the longed for ascent to the first division.
Huesca:
The “azulgrana” box managed to ascend to the Spanish first division, being its objective to carry out an acceptable campaign and ensure its permanence in this contest (not descend instantly as many other teams that come from the Liga2 have done). To achieve this goal, the leadership has ratified his confidence to coach Leo Franco, who has already made history with the squad last season. At the moment, the Argentine coach is experienced from the tactical and from the technical to see what will be the best system to use in his league debut.
Continuing with the analysis, you should know that the “Huesca” have already played two friendlies of preparation so far. The first was against the weak Atlético Monzón, rival of lower category to which he thrashed 5-0 after winning 3-0 in the first half. The second occurred a few days ago and was against Lleida Esportiu (triumph 2-3 after equaling 2-2 the first half and score the winning goal at minute 25 ‘of the second half). This will be the third test for a team that made a great campaign in the 2017-2018 season, beyond a negative streak that almost cost the promotion at the end of the season. If we talk about reinforcements, several players have arrived to reinforce the block that played and achieved the promotion. In this list are the names of Luisinho, Miramón, Eugeni, Longo, Cucho Hernández, Chimy Ávila and goalkeeper Axel Werner (former Argentine Boca Juniors and Atlético de Madrid whose main characteristics are reflexes and bailing hand in hand). The following friendly ones to dispute by the establishment are these: Numancia, Eibar, Real Oviedo and Alavés.
Osasuna:
The “reds” have started their preseason after completing an acceptable campaign in the Liga2. They were placed in the eighth position with 64 points, leaving only 1 of the playoff positions. The most painful for their interests is that they were able to sneak into that stage if they won their last match in the regular phase (2-0 defeat against Valladolid as a visitor). If we analyze their numbers, we can tell you that the team scored little and defended very well. For this reason, it should not surprise us that he has scored 44 goals and conceded only 34 in his fence (2nd best defense of the championship behind Cádiz). Now his goal is to fight for the first positions of the second division, trying to return to the Santander League via direct promotion or through the aforementioned playoffs (3rd to 6th place).
For this campaign coach Jagoba Arrasate is thinking of using an eleven that mixes youth and experience. Therefore, it should not surprise us that the style of Osasuna remains the same as the previous season (rocky and tactical above all). Of course, some new faces have already debuted as Iñigo Pérez and Nacho Vidal. In terms of friendlies, the squad did not start well after losing 1-0 to Real Union (similar score from the initial stage). In that game elements like Olavide, Miguel Díaz stood out. Barja and Xisco, which were mobile despite not being able to score. After this match, the clash came before Arenas Club last Saturday (0-8 triumph after winning 0-2 the first 45 ‘minutes of play). The following parties to dispute for the “reds” after facing Huesca will be the following: Real Sociedad, Eibar, Lleida Esportiu and Mirandés.
The two teams have met 3 times in the field of Huesca during the last 2 and a half years. Two matches went through the Liga2, while one was a club friendly (triumph 1-3 of Osasuna in August 2017). The league matches were the following: Victory 0-1 of Osasuna on January 1, 2016 and triumph 1-0 of Huesca on January 28, 2018.
