Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
A spot in the Copa del Rey last 32 will be at stake when Gimnastic and Huesca take on each other at Nou Estadi de Tarragona on Wednesday evening. The Primera RFEF side set up a meeting with Huesca by beating Ibiza on the road, but it has to be noted that they head into this match following a 3-2 loss to Cultural Leonesa. A man to watch in the home team will be Pablo Fernandez, who has netted three goals in total in the last five league games.
Los Azulgranas, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo. Huesca faced no difficulties in their Copa del Rey opener against Badalona Futur, but seeing that Gimnastic are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the last six meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
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.
The likes of Leo Franco, Luis Sastre and Ruben Castro are some of the most notable footballers that played for Huesca. Real Zaragoza are considered Huesca’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in Derbi Aragones.
