Huesca welcome Albacete to Estadio El Alcoraz for a LaLiga 2 round nine clash on Sunday (October 13th). The hosts will be looking to build on the 3-1 victory they registered over Cadiz at the same venue last weekend.
They missed the chance to take the lead when Oscar Sielva missed a 25th-minute penalty but the 33-year-old made amends from 12 yards out at the second time of asking in first-half injury time. Patrick Soko and Iker Kortajarena scored to put the Aragon outfit 3-0 up by the 62nd minute while Ruben Sobrino pulled one back for the visitors after their hosts were reduced to 10 men.
Albacete, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Cordoba. Alberto Quiles opened the scoring from a rebound after missing a penalty. Jacobo Rodriganez drew the game level in the 80th minute.
The draw left them in 15th spot in the table, having garnered 10 points from eight games. Huesca are third with 15 points to their name.
