In every league around the world, the quest to stay alive in the league is forever paramount on the minds of the various teams. Whether in the second division or in the main league, the relegation zone is a sight which many teams fear and are desperate to avoid. La Liga is definitely one of the best leagues in the world and it is, therefore, a pleasure to play in it. However, things can all wrong for you and your dream could become a nightmare if you are in the relegation zone. This would surely be the case of SD Huesca when they take on Leganes in this game.
Huesca has not been in great form all season. Granted, the first half of the season has just gone past and teams would be wanting to cement their places in the league. However, with the position that Huesca has dug themselves into, it remains to be seen just how effective they can be when it comes to climbing out of it. Huesca is currently in 20th position going in this game. After 18 games that have been played, they have only managed to acquire a total of 11 points. They are 5 points off the 19th position and 6 places from escaping the drop. Thus, even a win here would not be enough to lift them out of their pit. It remains to be seen what their outcome would be at the end of the season. Leganes on the other hand, are slightly better off than Huesca. However, they would have in mind that a loss here today has the ability to complicate their situation even further. Leganes are currently on 16th position in the league this season. They have managed to accumulate 19 points from 18 games. This means that they are 8 points above Huesca. Leganes are only two points above the drop and a loss here today could see athletic Bilbao leapfrog them in 16th place. They would be hoping to win and draw closer to the trio of Eibar, Celta Vigo, and Real Valladolid. Due to the fact that this match is played in Butarque which is their home stadium, they would have a lot of confidence moving forward.
Their form in their six matches has been manageable for Leganes. The truth is that Leganes have only won once in their last six matches and that loss came in their last game against Espanyol. However, Leganes has won only two of their last six matches. They have drawn the remaining three games. They would be looking to bounce back when they face Huesca. Huesca form has been simply woeful. They have won just once in their last six games and that win came in their last game which was against Real Betis. Their remaining matches have ended in four losses and a solitary draw. These are hard times for Huesca and they would do well to fight for their place in the league this season.
