Huesca hosts Athletic Bilbao in round 36 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 12th at Estadio El Alcoraz (Huesca)
Huesca started May with an unexpected victory over Real Sociedad. However, the newcomer was lucky in that match — the ball flew into the opponents’ net only in the 87th minute, and it was an own goal by Elustondo. But as they say, three points are three points, especially in that situation, in which Paceta's charges are. That victory allowed Huesca to preserve the chances of survival in La Liga. Nevertheless, Oscenses did not succeed in building on the success. On Saturday, they visited Cadiz CF. The Yellow Submarine had already resolved all the issues for itself but has not stopped playing, and despite another goal from Rafa Mir, his team lost 1-2 and remained in the relegation zone.

On the one hand, Athletic Bilbao finally managed to replenish their piggy bank by winning a trophy in 2021. Yes, this is a Super Cup that is not particularly quoted, but Marcelino, who only took office then, beat Real Madrid and Barcelona in that tournament. But then there were two defeats in the cup finals, and it seemed that the club from Bilbao would already be preparing for the next season. But it has gained optimal shape by the end of April. Now the Lions are on a streak of five matches without defeats. Yes, they managed to find motivation and gained victories over powerful Atletico Madrid and Sevilla (including at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan). But the Basques lacked concentration in the games against seemingly simple opponents. Back in April, Valladolid, which is fighting for survival, was able to gain a draw at Estadio San Mamés. In the last round, Osasuna was able to repeat this result. Even the score was the same (2-2). And the visitors again managed to score the last goal before the final whistle — Ante Budimir did it in the 89th minute.
Athletic Bilbao has never lost to Huesca, although the teams have played only five times. The debut head-to-head match ended in a draw, but then the Basques gained four consecutive victories. Of course, Huesca should give all the best in the upcoming game, but it is unlikely that Athletic will simply capitulate. Let's choose a neutral option in the form of Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
