The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Barcelona take ona struggling SD Huesca outfit at the Estadio El Alcoraz on Sunday. Barcelona have been well below their best this season and are in desperate need of a victory at the moment.
SD Huesca are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga table and need to play out of their skins to escape the relegation zone. The home side slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Celta Vigo during the week and need to take it up a notch against Ronald Koeman's side.
Barcelona are in a shocking sixth place in the La Liga table and have several problems to solve ahead of this match. The Catalan giants sorely missed Lionel Messi as they were held to a 1-1 draw against Eibar in their previous game and have a point to prove in this fixture.
SD Huesca vs Barcelona Head-to-Head
Barcelona have played a total of four official fixtures against SD Huesca and have won three matches against Sunday's opponents. SD Huesca have managed only one point against Barcelona in La Liga and need to take it up a notch this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two sides took place in 2019 and ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Barcelona struggled in the final third on the day and will need to put in a better performance on Sunday.
