Barcelona are back in action in La Liga this weekend as they lock horns with SD Huesca in an important fixture at the Camp Nou on Monday. The Catalan giants have been impressive in recent weeks and are the favourites to win this game.
SD Huesca have endured a difficult campaign so far and find themselves rooted to the bottom of the league standings. The away side has struggled to cope with the demands of La Liga and will need to be at its best to avoid relegation in the coming months.
Barcelona have effectively recovered from a slow start to their league campaign and are giving Atletico Madrid a run for their money at the moment. The Blaugrana eased past Osasuna last weekend and will want a similar result in this match.
Barcelona vs SD Huesca Head-to-Head
Barcelona have an excellent record against SD Huesca and have won four out of five games played between the two teams. SD Huesca have never defeated Barcelona in an official fixture and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
The reverse fixture between the two teams took place in January this year and ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Barcelona. Frenkie de Jong scored the winning goal on the day and will play an important role in this fixture.
