The 2020-21 edition of La Liga returns to the fold this week as Deportivo Alaves take on SD Huesca in an important fixture at the Estadio El Alcoraz on Saturday. Alaves have exceeded expectations this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.
SD Huesca are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga table and have plenty of work to do to stay in the Spanish top flight. The newly-promoted side showed glimpses of its potential against Granada last weekend and has a point to prove going into this fixture.
Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, have pulled off a few surprising results in La Liga this season and are currently in 12th place in the La Liga table. The Basque outfit held Real Sociedad to a 0-0 stalemate in its previous fixture and will want all three points from this game.
SD Huesca vs Deportivo Alaves Head-to-Head
Deportivo Alaves have a good record against SD Huesca and have won six matches out of a total of nine matches against their opponents. Huesca have managed only three victories and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two sides took place earlier this year in a pre-season friendly and ended in a surprising 2-1 victory for SD Huesca. Alaves have improved since the start of the season and will want to build on their progress so far this season.
