Huesca vs Las Palmas Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this one. Down at the local, we'd be scratching our heads a bit with the odds here 'cause Las Palmas are flying high in 2nd place while Huesca are just plodding along in 14th.

The form table tells a proper story. Las Palmas have only lost twice in their last 10 games, and defensively they're as tight as a drum - just 0.6 goals conceded per game. Away from home? Absolutely brilliant. Unbeaten in their last four on the road, with two wins and two draws, and they've only let in one goal in those four matches! That's some serious away day form.

Huesca, on the other hand, have been a bit hit and miss. They got absolutely hammered 4-0 by Deportivo not long ago, and then lost 0-1 to Granada who are rock bottom of the league. They do score a few more at home (1.2 per game), but they're still averaging under a goal overall.

The stats back it up too - Las Palmas have more shots on target, better possession, and much better pass accuracy. They just look the more complete side.

Now, I know what you're thinking - Huesca have done alright against Las Palmas at home historically. But form over history, mate. Las Palmas are playing some proper stuff right now and that defensive record on the road is no fluke.

The bookies have got this as a proper close contest, but I reckon they're underestimating just how good Las Palmas have been, especially away from home. At 2.70, the away win looks like decent value to me.

Key Points:

• Las Palmas sitting pretty in 2nd, Huesca down in 14th

• Visitors unbeaten in last 4 away games, conceding just 1 goal

• Huesca inconsistent - lost to bottom side Granada recently

• Las Palmas much better defensive record (0.6 vs 1.1 goals conceded)

• Away win at 2.70 looks value given the form gap
