Huesca, Recent FormHuesca won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 away defeat to Levante UD, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Levante UD, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Antonio Hidalgo will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded at least one goal in 8 of their 10 games at The Estadio El Alcoraz this season.
It's been a disappointing spell of home league form lately, having managed to rack up just 1 victory and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches. They've struggled to find their feet at home this season, having won just 1 of their 10 league games at The Estadio El Alcoraz.
On an individual basis, Samuel Obeng will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Huesca's last 6 league games.
Cartagena, Recent FormCartagena manager Julián Calero will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 home defeat by Burgos. They came away from that fixture with a 60% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Burgos, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Calero will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 18 of their 20 games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 10 away league games.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
Huesca have managed to keep a clean sheet against Cartagena in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Playing at home, Huesca have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Cartagena.
With no real injury worries, Huesca manager Antonio Hidalgo will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Cartagena manager Julián Calero has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
