Valencia were caught up in Champions League duties so far in the season and that has taken a toll on their domestic duties. They are sitting at the bottom half of the league table and will be looking to move upwards when they will host Huesca on Sunday. Huesca have been by far the worst team in the league so far, having won just a single match.

Valencia (3-3-10) are coming into this match after a pretty balanced 1-1 draw on the road against Eibar. They took an early lead at the 29th minute but their opponents pulled even at the start of the second half from the penalty spot. Prior to that they beat Manchester United by 1-2 for the Champions League but finished 3rd in their group and will continue to the Europa League. They are now undefeated in their last four (2-0-2) but the last three had goals from both sides. Valencia are now sitting 14th in the league table with 19 points, just four ahead of the relegation zone. They have only lost once at home, but have also won just once (1-1-6).
Huesca (1-10-5) actually fought really hard in their last match and will be frustrated that they only got a single point from that 2-2 draw. They were dominant throughout the whole match and took the lead at the 44th minute from the penalty spot. Their opponents pulled even also from the spot and, long story short, Huesca scored a late goal to pull even for a 2-2. However, that win came after four consecutive losses in all competitions, failing to score a single goal in that span. Huesca have been stuck at the bottom of the league table with 8 points, featuring the 2nd worst offense with 14 goals and the worst defense with 32 conceded. They have actually grabbed half their points on the road (1-6-1), scoring 8 goals while conceding 21.

Valencia have been much better than Huesca so far in the season, despite playing in three competitions. They have not won many matches but they haven’t lost a lot either - they usually play for draws. But now that the Champions League is out of the way they should be able to record a nice win here.
