On October 4, El Alcoras will host the 8th round match of the Spanish Segunda, featuring Huesca against Cadiz. Experts from Sportsmacro have compiled an individual prediction for this matchup.
Huesca
The team has made two attempts to establish themselves in the Primera after promotion, but both were unsuccessful, resulting in immediate relegation. Following the second failure, Huesca seemed to lose confidence, finishing thirteenth at first and then steadily declining, ultimately ending up in eighteenth place in the spring.
This season, under the guidance of Antonio Hidalgo, the team started strong, achieving consecutive victories against Elche, Deportivo, and Granada. However, they then suffered a 0-1 defeat against both Burgos and Málaga, with a notable exception being a 4-1 win over Córdoba. Unfortunately, in their recent match against Mirandés, they failed to score again, highlighting ongoing struggles in front of goal.
Cadiz
The club was promoted to the top division of Spain in 2020 and managed to stay there for four years, although they never rose above twelfth place. Unfortunately, they were relegated in the spring, finishing in the second-to-last position.
In the new season, the “yellow submarine” is under the guidance of experienced coach Paco Lopez. His official debut did not go well, with a 0-4 loss to Zaragoza at home. However, the team began to steadily collect points, often settling for draws. In the most recent round, they unexpectedly stumbled, losing 1-2 at home to Eldense.
Key Facts about the match
- Huesca has lost three of their last four matches.
- Cadiz had been on a five-match unbeaten run before their most recent game.
