Espanyol is one of the best teams in the Second Division. Relegated last season from La Liga, they have a big budget and kept many players in the squad, who are class above for this category.
As always for the teams newly relegated to this category, they started the season struggling to reach the top positions. They were out of the TOP2 for 4 months, since October when new coach Ramis came to the club.
But now they are performing well, fighting for the title which is their main target. They are second in the league with the best attack after scoring 46 goals in 28 games, mainly thanks to their striker Braithwaite who is the topscorer of the league with 17 goals. A striker like him (ex from Barcelona, international with Denmark…) is an absolute beast for the second division. He is in great form recently, with great performances and 8 goals scored in the last 6 games.
Espanyol is also one of the best home teams in the league with a balance of 9/4/1, whilst the defeat came against leaders Leganes. At home they are a very difficult team to beat as they have a very strong attack and always create many chances.
They are also coming with a lot of confidence after an epic victory 2:3 against Eibar (a rival for the promotion), where at 95’ they were losing 2:1.
On the other hand, Huesca is a mid table team from this league. They started the campaign really bad but lately improved a lot, and now are in the best moment of the season. At the moment they are 16th and 2 points above relegation, with only 7 victories so far (same as other two relegation teams like Alcorcon or Villareal B).
Although they are unbeaten in the last 5 and achieved good results recently, the majority of those results came against weak teams from the lower part of the table. They lost against Eibar (2:1), Levante (2:1) or Valladolid (0:1), all of them similar teams so Espanyol.
Curiously, they are a strong away team, where they are the second best team in the league (4/6/4), but as said, they have not played against many top teams away still.
Espanyol has much more quality and Huesca, in spite of their good form, have been outplayed by all top teams this season. Hosts are favorites and should be able to keep the tree points at home here.

西班牙人是乙级联赛中最好的球队之一。上赛季从西甲降级,他们有很大的预算,并在球队中留下了许多球员,他们在这一类别中是一流的。
一如以往,新降级到这一级别的球队,他们在赛季开始时都很难达到榜首。自去年10月新教练拉米斯上任以来,他们已经有4个月没有进入前2。
但现在他们表现得很好,为冠军而战,这是他们的主要目标。他们在28场比赛中打进46球,在进攻端排名联赛第二,这主要得益于前锋布雷斯韦特以17球排名联赛射手榜第一。像他这样的前锋(前巴塞罗那球员,丹麦国家队球员……)绝对是乙级联赛的猛兽。他最近状态很好,在最近的6场比赛中有出色的表现和8个进球。
西班牙人也是联赛中最好的主场球队之一,胜率为9/4/1,而败给了领头羊莱加内斯。在主场,他们是一支很难击败的球队,因为他们的进攻非常强大,总是能创造很多机会。
在以2:3的史诗般的胜利击败艾巴尔(一个晋级的竞争对手)之后,他们也充满了信心,在95年他们以2:1输球。
另一方面,韦斯卡是这个联赛的中游球队。他们在赛季开始的时候很糟糕,但最近进步很大,现在正处于赛季最好的时刻。目前他们排在第16位,距离保级还有2分的差距,迄今为止只取得了7场胜利(和其他两支保级球队一样,比如阿尔科康和比利亚雷亚尔B队)。
虽然他们在最近的5场比赛中保持不败,并且取得了不错的成绩,但这些成绩大多是对阵排名靠后的弱球队。他们输给了埃巴尔(2:1),莱万特(2:1)和巴利亚多利德(0:1),这些都是类似的球队,所以西班牙人。
奇怪的是,他们是一支强大的客场球队,他们是联盟第二好的球队(4/6/4),但正如我所说,他们还没有和很多顶级球队在客场交手过。
西班牙人的实力更强,韦斯卡尽管状态不错,但本赛季却被所有顶级球队击败。东道主是最受欢迎的,应该能够在主场保持三分。
