The promotion race in the Segunda Division is always exciting to watch and we have a preview featuring one of the leading promotion contenders this season.
The game between SD Huesca and Burgos will be played on the 24th of March at the Estadio El Alcoraz. The hosts begin this round of matches in 14th place on 37 points while the visitors are in 6th place on 49 points.
SD Huesca come into the game having picked up a point thanks to a 0-0 draw at Tenerife last weekend. It was a decent point for SD Huesca against a team currently one place above them in the Segunda Division.

The draw at Tenerife means SD Huesca are undefeated in their 8 most recent fixtures, all of which were in the Segunda Division.
There have been victories over Alcocorn and FC Andorra at home plus Mirandes away. SD Huesca also picked up a point in draws against Villarreal II, Eldense, and Espanyol away plus Amorebieta at home.
The stats show SD Huesca have not been beaten in 11 of their 12 most recent matches in all competitions and they have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 7 games, which is a tremendous defensive record.
However, SD Huesca have won only 4 of their 18 most recent home league matches.
Burgos make the trip to the Estadio El Alcoraz on the back of a 1-1 draw at home against Levante in the Segunda Division last weekend.
It was Burgos who opened the scoring in the 23rd minute but Levante scored the equaliser in the 72nd minute to take a point.
The draw against Levante means Burgos are undefeated in their 4 most recent league games.
There have been wins at home over Sporting Gijon and FC Cartagena plus an excellent 1-0 win at Eibar.
Trends show Burgos have been difficult to beat in recent Segunda Division fixtures and they are undefeated in 14 of their last 17 games.
Burgos have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 Segunda Division fixtures. However, they have been struggling to win matches on the road and Burgos have recorded only 3 victories from their 20 most recent away trips in the league.
Looking forward to the team news and SD Huesca are without suspended midfielder Miguel Loureiro. Every other player should be fit and available.
Burgos travel without the suspended trio of Kévin Appin, Miguel Angel Atienza, and Fernando Niño. Defender Raúl Navarro is injured.
This should be a great game for those who appreciate good defending and we expect to see under 2.5 goals scored. In fact, just a single goal could be enough to win this match. Burgos could be the team who find the back of the net and take maximum points in what would be a boost for their automatic promotion credentials.
