Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Granada and Huesca take on each other in a highly-anticipated La Liga 2 game at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes. Los Granadinos made a flying start to the season, but they do not seem to be at the top of their game ahead of Sunday’s encounter. Summer signing Jose Callejon will be the man to watch in the home team, while defender Raul Torrente continue to miss out with a ligament injury.
Los Azulgranas, on the other hand, emerged triumphant in three of their last four league fixtures, but Granada will pose a much bigger threat for the visitors than their previous rivals. Since the Andalusians are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Aragon empty-handed. All Daniel Esriche, Joaquin Munoz, and Enzo Lombardo are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Raul Fernandez):
Born in Bilbao, Spain on March 13, 1988 Raul Fernandez is a 196-cm-tall goalkeeper who plays for La Liga side Levante. Fernandez played for the youth team of his home-town club Athletic Bilbao from 1998 to 2006 and he began his senior career at fellow Basque outfit Basconia. After making 29 appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 season Raul Fernandez returned to Athletic Bilbao in 2007 and it has to be noted that he played 19 games for the reserve team.
After spending the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons on loan at Conquense and Granada respectively the Spanish shoot-stopper started playing for Athletic Bilbao at senior level, but he made only five appearances for the Lions in La Liga.
In 2013 Raul Fernandez was loaned to Numancia and after ending his loan spell with los Rojillos he moved to Raving Santander. Nowadays the Basque footballer is a part of La Liga team Levante and you should know that he managed to keep 17 clean sheets in 33 appearances for los Levantinos in the 2016/2017 Segunda Division campaign.
Highlighted Team (Huesca):
Huesca are a Spanish club that compete in La Liga, the Spanish top flight. The club was originally founded in 1910, but in 1940 it was renamed Union Deportiva. In 1956 the club disappeared due to financial problems, but four years later Sociedad Deportiva Huesca was born. Huesca are well known for their blaugrana colors as their founding members were Barcelona fans.
The club welcome their rivals at El Alcoraz and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 5,500. Despite the fact that El Alcoraz can hold up to 5,500 people in December 2014 7,600 spectators watched the game between Huesca and Barcelona. Huesca will make their first ever appearance in Primera Division in the 2018/2019 season.
