Real Valladolid come into the game having previously beat Ibiza 2-1 away from home as they push for an automatic promotion place.
Having opened the scoring in the first minute of the match, Real Valladolid scored again in the second half with Ibiza reduced to 10 men.
The hosts did get a goal back in the 70th minute but Real Valladolid held on to take maximum points.
That result means Real Valladolid are undefeated in their 3 most recent Segunda Division fixtures. Prior to the win at Ibiza, Real Valladolid beat Eibar 2-0 away and Ponferradina 2-0 at home, with the former being a superb result against the team top of the table.
Trends show Real Valladolid haven't lost in 20 of their last 24 games in all competitions. However, their recent home record in the Segunda Division is a mixed bag and they have won only 2 of their last 5 league fixtures at the Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla. Real Valladolid have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 7 home league matches.
Huesca travel to the Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla on the back of a 3-2 home victory against Real Sociedad B.
Huesca were 2-0 up but Real Sociedad B struck twice in the second half to equalise. Huesca kept going until the final whistle and scored the winning goal in the 90th minute.
It was an important result for Huesca who have been struggling to win games of late. They have failed to win 5 of their last 6 matches, all of which have come in the Segunda Division.
Away form in the league shows Huesca have failed to win any of their last 3 fixtures. There have been defeats at Leganes and Amorebieta plus a 0-0 draw at Tenerife.
Trends show Huesca have failed to find the back of the net in 3 of their last 6 away league games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Real Valladolid are without forward Óscar Plano who is out with a tendon injury. Every other player should be available for the hosts.
Huesca have no injury or suspension concerns for this match and will be relying on Jaime Seoane for goals, who is one of the top scorers in the league this season.
Real Valladolid know they must win this match and hope either Eibar or Almeria slip up to win automatic promotion.
Real Valladolid will feel confident of getting their part of the job done against Huesca, who have little to play for in this game. We expect Real Valladolid to take maximum points and keep a clean sheet in the process.
