Prediction: 1-1
Huesca
Huesca will be aiming to make amends for a shocking 2-1 loss to Real Oviedo when they take on Lugo in the closing match of day 5. Huesca have been having their ups and downs at the start of the season, but the bookies still see them as one of the main candidates for promotion. Defender Jorge Pulido is banned for the match as he was sent off in the defeat to los Azules on Monday.
Lugo, on the other hand, are determined to record their first win of the process. Since the hosts are likely to go for a victory as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Experienced attacker Joselu could be recalled to Lugo’s starting line-up for the Huesca clash. It has to be noted that 13 goals in total have been netted in the previous four meetings between the two sides.
