| Based on the recent form of both teams, our Real Madrid vs Huesca prediction is a 4-1 win for Real Madrid | SofaScore's rating system assigns each player a specific rating based on numerous data factors |
|---|---|
| How the mighty have fallen, and manager Zinedine Zidane is facing arguably the toughest season of his stellar managerial career | But with lots of space left behind their backs combined with a heavy man-marking scheme Zidane often deploys, this made the overloads that much easier to implement |
Mir was unlucky not to double their lead when his volley came off the bar and he almost restored Huesca's advantage after Varane's leveller, forcing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to leap to the top left corner to push his header away.

|---|---|
| This was down to Huesca compacting the central areas of the pitch and shutting down all and any lanes that led towards the box | The newly-promoted team went with Javi Ontiveros and Sergio Gómez as the wide midfielders while a double-pivot of Pedro Mosquera and Kelechi Nwakali manned the centre of the pitch |
Belgian goalkeeper Thibault Courtois will likely be in the starting XI after overcoming his muscular strain while his compatriot Eden Hazard could also start from the beginning after his appearance off the bench against Gladbach.
