Forty-six of the 352 matches in the Segunda this season finished 1-1. It is the league’s third-most common scoreline, as 13.07% of matches ended in 1-1 draws.
On Sunday, ninth-place Villarreal B will host 10th-place Huesca at the Ciudad Deportiva Villarreal. Both teams go into the match in good form and will fancy their chances of leaving with a point at the very least.

Villarreal B are unbeaten in three straight La Liga 2 games. The Mini Submarine are unable to make the promotion playoffs this season, as the A-team, Villarreal, compete in La Liga. It has still been a great campaign for Miguel Alvarez’s team.
Huesca are unbeaten in six straight Segunda matches. However, five of those games ended as draws. Four of the five draws ended in 1-1 ties. Huesca took eight points from the last six matches in the Segunda. They outscored opponents 9-6.
Villarreal B picked up 10 points from the last 18 points on offer in the league. The Mini Submarine scored nine goals and conceded seven times to opponents across the last six games. Villarreal B are on a three-game home winning streak. They have a record of 8W-5D-3L at the Ciudad Deportiva Villarreal.
Five of Huesca’s last six away matches ended as draws. Indeed, each of their last three road games were stalemates. Three of their last five away draws finished 1-1.
Huesca manager Cuco Ziganda will be without defender Jorge Pulido due to a suspension. Midfielder Cristian Salvador is a doubt following a thigh injury.
Villarreal B’s Miguel Angel Leal will miss the match following a suspension. The Mini Submarine are one of the Segunda’s top-scoring teams, with 38 goals. However, they also have one of the Segunda’s worst defences. Villarreal B allowed 40 goals to opponents in 32 fixtures.
Huesca claimed a 1-0 win earlier this season against Villarreal B. Marc Mateu scored the game’s only goal in the 22nd minute. Huesca were in better form when the teams previously met. Now, Villarreal B are in better form.
Juan Carlos Real leads Huesca in goals with five this season. Right-wing Gerard Valentin leads Villarreal B in assists with five.
Villarreal B are led in goals by midfielder Sergio Lozano with five. Lozano also tallied six assists. The central midfielder had a part in Villarreal B’s 38 goals scored.
With Huesca’s penchant for 1-1 draws, Sunday’s match should finish in a draw. The Segunda rivals should finish 1-1 at full-time.
