Our Predictions
Zaragoza has the home advantage, better league form, and are unbeaten in their last four derbies at La Romareda. Odds of 2.25 reflect slight favor but close margins.
Four of the last five meetings ended with two or fewer goals. Neither side averages high scores in recent matches. The 1.48 odds align with strong history of low-scoring contests.
Three of the last five H2H games saw at least one team blank. Recent league form shows both lean on defense, so 1.62 odds represent a solid value for tight, cagey play.
Real Zaragoza vs Huesca Prediction, Odds & Match Preview – Segunda División Derby Clash
Welcome to Extratips for your in-depth preview of the big Aragonese derby! On November 16th, Real Zaragoza welcomes SD Huesca at La Romareda in this tense Segunda División matchup. Both sides know how much local pride is at stake.
Recent meetings show the rivalry runs close: the last five battles ended in two 1-1 draws, a 1-2 Huesca win, a 1-0 Zaragoza win, and another 1-1 draw. Zaragoza has the edge at home, but Huesca rarely leaves empty-handed.
Bookies give Zaragoza the upper hand with 2.25 odds, a draw at 3.00, and Huesca at 3.50. This suggests a tight game, maybe just one goal in it.
Current table standings: Zaragoza sits 9th with 21 points, while Huesca lags in 17th on 14 points. The difference shows in their hunger—Zaragoza pushing for playoff places, Huesca looking to avoid a drop zone scare.
Zaragoza’s last five at home: 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss. Huesca away: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses. Both sides keep it close, but Zaragoza have been slightly stronger.
Big strengths? Zaragoza presses well, creates set-piece chances, and can grind out draws. Weaknesses: struggle to break low blocks, sometimes leak late goals, discipline issues (frequent yellow cards). Huesca’s strengths include resilience, counter-attacking, and aerial duels; however, they lack consistency, struggle with possession, and concede early. Key absentees and fresh injuries could tip the balance late on, especially as both teams often see red or yellow.
Storylines to watch:
- Will Zaragoza’s home form overcome Huesca’s never-say-die attitude?
- Can Huesca play spoilers and grab momentum with a derby upset?
- Does Zaragoza’s attack break through, or do defenses dominate again?
Expect a derby full of grit, hard tackles, and few clear chances. Fans can’t ask for more drama under the lights!
