Huesca take on the visitors Eibar in the round 3 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Monday, September 1st at Estadio El Alcoraz (Huesca).
Huesca wants to finally improve. The “Oscenses” managed to earn promotion to La Liga in both 2018 and 2020. Each time, however, the story ended with relegation, even if not from the very bottom. After the second drop, results got significantly worse. In fact, the 2024/25 campaign, where they finished 8th, was their best in this period. Still, that wasn’t enough to compete for another promotion. This summer, the club put their trust in a young coach, 34-year-old Sergi Julio, who had previously worked with Mérida. His debut saw a home draw against Leganés, where Huesca equalized late in the 84th minute to salvage a 1-1. In the next fixture, hosting Mirandés, they secured their first win of the season with a narrow 1-0 victory. The team has been showing solid defensive structure under the new coach, but their attack still lacks consistency. If Julio manages to stabilize the squad further, Huesca could quietly become a contender for the playoff spots.

Eibar played in La Liga from 2014 until 2021. After relegation, they refused to settle, finishing 3rd, 5th, and again 3rd in Segunda. However, they consistently failed in the playoff rounds. In 2024/25, they didn’t even manage to make the playoffs. The club had long trusted Gaizka Garitano and then Etxeberria, but eventually replaced him after New Year with Beñat San José. The 45-year-old had worked across various leagues despite never truly shining as a player. After stabilizing the team at the end of last season, San José has now been tasked with leading Eibar back into promotion contention. This season, they started with a 1-1 away draw against Málaga after taking the lead, but then bounced back with a convincing 3-0 home win over Granada. The new manager has instilled a more balanced approach, and Eibar look sharper both in defense and attack compared to last year. Their quick improvement suggests they could be one of the most dangerous sides in Segunda this season.
Eibar have won 5 of their last 7 official meetings, including one in March. However, their only defeat in this run came during their previous visit to El Alcoraz. The hosts are given a slight advantage — the bet here is on Huesca to win, but with a (0) handicap.
Prediction for the match: Huesca to win with 0.0 handicap.
