A Sports Betting Pick by Gladiator
Football: Spanish La Liga 2 - Round 40
Estadio El Alcoraz (Huesca), Spain
Saturday, 17th May 2025 - Kick Off 18:30 CET
Huesca
Huesca remain an unpredictable side this season, but one thing is certain - they have consistently proven to be a thorn in Elche’s side. Huesca holds a psychological edge with three wins and a draw in their last five meetings against the visitors.
Their recent form may not be convincing, but with a slim opportunity still alive to sneak into the playoff zone, every remaining fixture is a must-win. Playing in front of their home fans will be a critical boost, especially against an opponent they’ve historically matched up well with.
Elche
Elche’s promotion hopes have taken a hit at a crucial moment. The recent defeat to Levante exposed the growing cracks in their squad, with injuries and fatigue playing a visible role.
That loss cut their cushion to just one point over Levante and added pressure to an already tense situation. While the top two spots are still technically within reach, Elche seem to be losing momentum at the wrong time.
Their lack of depth could prove costly in the final stretch, especially in a matchup where history hasn’t been kind to them.
The Betting Verdict
This is a tricky fixture for Elche, both in terms of timing and opponent. Huesca are not in great form overall, but their impressive head-to-head record and home support give them the edge in what is expected to be a tense, scrappy encounter.
Elche’s desperation for a win could leave them vulnerable, just as it did against Levante, and Huesca could take full advantage of that.
