Huesca vs Eibar Prediction & Betting Tips (1 September)

As the sun sets over Estadio El Alcoraz on August 31, 2025, SD Huesca and SD Eibar prepare to lock horns in a LaLiga2 clash that promises more than just points—it’s a battle of ambition. Huesca, under the fresh leadership of Sergi Guilló, has shown early signs of a tactical renaissance. The team’s recent 3-2 victory over Eldense highlighted their attacking flair, with Patrick Soko, Joaquin Muñoz, and Javier Hernández all finding the net. Guilló’s new signings—Liberto, Iñigo Piña, and Julio Alonso—have added depth and dynamism, while injuries to Javi Mier and Jordi Martín remain a concern. Still, the home side’s momentum and crowd support could tilt the scales.

Eibar, meanwhile, arrives with a more pragmatic approach under manager Benat San José. Their recent 1-0 win over Osasuna B and a gritty draw against Alavés show a team that thrives on defensive discipline and calculated bursts of offense. Jon Bautista continues to be their talisman up front, with five goals in his last ten outings, while José Corpas and Jon Guruzeta provide creative spark. The absence of first-choice goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic due to groin surgery is a blow, but Jonmi Magunagoitia has stepped up admirably between the posts. Eibar’s away form has been patchy, yet their resilience makes them a dangerous visitor.

Historically, the matchup is finely balanced. Eibar holds a slight edge with six wins to Huesca’s five, and three draws pepper the rivalry. The last meeting saw Eibar edge out Huesca 2-1 in March, a scoreline that echoes the prediction for this upcoming fixture. Both teams sit mid-table, with Huesca in eighth and Eibar in ninth, separated by a mere six points last season. The margins are razor-thin, and with both sides boasting potent attacking options, a high-tempo encounter is expected. Tactical tweaks and individual brilliance could be the difference.

Expect Huesca to strike first, likely through Soko or Muñoz, exploiting Eibar’s transitional vulnerabilities. But Eibar’s response will be measured—Bautista’s movement and Corpas’ delivery could unlock Huesca’s backline. In the end, the prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win for Huesca, a result that reflects their recent form and the energy of a rejuvenated squad. It won’t be a walkover, but rather a chess match played at full throttle. For fans and neutrals alike, this fixture is set to be a compelling chapter in the LaLiga2 narrative.
