The confrontation between Huesca vs Sevilla is scheduled on Saturday, at 19.30, on Estadio El Alcoraz. It’s an exam match for both combatants. Huesca may be playing one of the last chances to hope for a seat in La Liga and the following season, and Sevilla, after a very long period of time, is out of the first 4 teams to change the trend of the results to climb to the area Champions League.
Huesca: current form, latest results, statistics
Huesca remained on the last place after the 25th round. He does not manage to gather the points needed to get close to the safety area. He won a point in Barcelona with Espanyol, but he can not go any more than half the measure.
The time of the little ticks, one point from here, another from there, went away. It takes successes, even a series of successes, and it still lags to appear. It follows a very difficult month, which can decide the team’s future course. Difficult games will follow quickly. After Sevilla will follow Getafe, Alaves and Real Madrid …
Let’s look at the last 5 games:
- 27.01.19 Real Sociedad vs Huesca 0-0
- 01.02.19 Huesca vs Valladolid 4-0
- 09.02.19 Girona vs Huesca 0-2
- 18.02.19 Huesca vs Athletic Bilbao 0-1
- 22.02.19 Espanyol vs Huesca 1-1
The home team’s situation becomes even more difficult in terms of losing important players due to injuries. The last of them is Rivera, the one who wounded in the match on Friday and was operated on Wednesday morning. The midfielder had become an important step in Francisco’s game plan and now he will be missing at least 6 weeks.
In the training on Tuesday another player has succumbed. Akapo has relapsed his knee injury and will not be available for meeting Sevilla. Neither Cucho Hernandez participated in the last training because he is ill.
Ezequiel Avila, 4 goals scored, has become the most dangerous striker of the team. 3 of these goals scored in the last 4 stages.
Sevilla: current form, latest results, statistics
After the last round, Sevilla lost fourth in the standings in favor of Getafe. It is true that he had an extremely difficult meeting with Barcelona, but the defeat is entirely due to coach Pablo Machin, who changed his tactic in the break between the two halves.
This resulted in 4 games without victory and, consequently, dropping to 5th place in the standings. Sevilla has only got one point in these 4 games and that one with good luck. Adversaries, apart from Barcelona, were not some that could not get any more (Celta Vigo, Eibar or Villareal).
Let’s see the series of the last five games:
- 02.02.19 Celta Vigo vs Sevilla 1-0
- 10.02.19 Sevilla vs Eibar 2-2
- 14.02.19 Lazio vs Sevilla 0-1 (Europa League)
- 17.02.19 Villareal vs Sevilla 3-0
- 20.02.19 Sevilla vs Lazio 2-0 (Europa League)
In this stage, Sevilla will have a good chance to return to 4th place because Getafe has a match with Betis, who can indirectly help his concitadine. The players were very open to training and discussed the team’s problems. They understood that a quick regroup is needed in order not to miss the goal.
Wissam Ben Yedder, with 11 goals scored, remains the main teammate of the team. The French play very well, especially due to the confidence received from coach Machin. Only this season was a direct participant, goal or assistant, to 29 of the team’s goals.

Huesca vs Sevilla Picks
It is a vital meeting for both teams. Sevilla comes to get all three points in the game, which can help to climb to the 4th place. The team is stronger and more experienced. I have seen the offensive force in the first half with Barcelona. Will Huesca resist? I do not think.
