Huesca host Eldense at the Estadio El Alcoraz on Sunday in their final game of the Segunda Division season. The Azulgrana were crushed 4-0 by Cadiz in their penultimate fixture away from home last weekend, succumbing to their 14th league defeat of the campaign.
Moussa Diakite, Oscar Melendo, Roger Marti and Alex Fernandez struck in a blitzing first half as Huesca were caught napping. Ahead of the season finale, the Aragon outfit have secured 61 points in 41 games and are eighth in the points table.
Meanwhile, Eldense bow out of the second division after two years, as their relegation has been confirmed. With 45 points, José Luis Oltra's side are down in 19th place in the standings and will play in the third division next season.
Lately, their form appears to have improved, going unbeaten in three games. Eldense overcame Malaga 1-0 before a pair of draws to Castellon (1-1) and Racing Santander (3-3). The side from Valencia will hope to continue that run and end their second-division sojourn on a winning note.
