The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this weekend as Sevilla take on SD Huesca in an important league fixture at the Estadio El Alcoraz on Saturday. Sevilla have recovered from their rough patch and are the favourites to win this game.
Huesca have endured a miserable La Liga campaign so far and are currently in 19th place in the standings. The Aragonese outfit have played out consecutive 1-1 draws and will be hoping for a positive result in this game.
Sevilla have registered two victories on the trot in La Liga and also managed to secure their progression in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week. The Andalusians have emerged as a force to reckon with under Julen Lopetegui and need a victory in this game to move further up the La Liga table.
SD Huesca vs Sevilla Head-to-Head
SD Huesca are relatively new to the recent history of La Liga and have done fairly well against Sevilla. The two teams have played two games in Spain's top flight and have managed one victory apiece.
The previous meeting between these two sides in 2019 ended in a shock 2-1 victory for Huesca. Both sides have improved since then and will have a point to prove going into this fixture.

Huesca, on the other hand, face an early relegation battle and are in desperate need of a victory at the moment. Sevilla have regained their touch, however, and should be able to pick up a victory this weekend.
