Valencia will aim to make it two wins from their last two games of their La Liga campaign when they visit the El Alcoraz Stadium to take on Huesca.

The hosts are in a heated race to beat the drop and will be desperate to secure their safety by claiming all three points.

Huesca’s chances of avoiding relegation took a massive blow as they were beaten 1-0 by Real Betis last time out.

Borja Iglesias scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot to hand Real Betis their 16th win of the season.

However, Huesca have been in decent form, picking up two wins from their last four games.

With 33 points from 37 games, Juan José Rojo Martín's men are seated in 17th place in the league standings, three points ahead of rock-bottom Eibar.

They will now aim to avoid defeat on Saturday and hope Elche and Real Valladolid drop points when they face Athletic Club and Atletico Madrid respectively.

Valencia, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they claimed a 4-1 win over Eibar.

Despite dominating proceedings, Eibar were forced to rue their wastefulness in front of goal as Goncalo Guedes and Carlos Soler both scored braces to ensure Valencia strolled to victory.

The Bats have now picked up two wins from their last three games. This resurgent form has helped Valencia move into 13th place in the league table, three points behind 10th-place Granada.
