Huesca vs Santander Prediction

Huesca ended their four-game losing streak with their shock away win over promotion-chasing Elche. The victory helped the Aragonese outfit steer further clear of the relegation zone as they are now four points above the dropzone with three games to go.

Racing Santander, for their part, are unbeaten in their last four games, winning the last two on the bounce. They currently occupy the final promotion playoff spot and have a two-point advantage over seventh-placed Gijon.

The last seven head-to-head games have produced less than three goals and we are backing this trend to continue in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Huesca 0-0 Santander
