Huesca are slight favorites for Eldense clash
SD huesca enter Sunday’s LaLiga 2 matchup with Eldense as slight favorites, but there is enough about the visitors to suggest the points could be shared in this potentially pivotal late-season game. Our SD Huesca vs Eldense prediction highlights a competitive edge, with Antonio Hidalgo’s men at 8th in the standings with 61 points from 41 games and Eldense 19th with 45 from the same number of games.
Hidalgo took over in October 2023 and has overseen a decent season, but his tactic of pressing opponents high up the field and playing attacking football has come under pressure in their recent defeats. For this SD Huesca vs Eldense preview, note that Huesca have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five league games, suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Cadiz just 24 hours before this clash.
Eldense, coached by Jose Luis Oltra since January 2025, are a much more defensively structured side that play with a back three, with Juanto Ortuno as their main man up front. Ortuno has nine goals in 34 LaLiga 2 games this season.
Huesca have been vulnerable in defence recently
Oltra has brought some real structure to the team since taking over and Eldense have looked much more solid and tough to beat in their two draws against Castellon and Racing Santander. The SD Huesca vs Eldense prediction also considers they have not won in their past two away games.
So Huesca, who have split their last two at home, have an opportunity to win the game, but we must not ignore the head-to-head. Eldense won 2-1 when they hosted Huesca in LaLiga 2 six months ago and have three wins and a draw from their four previous games against Sunday’s opponents.
We will take the home side to avoid defeat in this matchup, but there is a chance that Huesca’s superior quality and attacking power will eventually get them a win, so we will have to take the long odds of 2.07 on Hidalgo’s side to do the job.
