Prediction published on Mar 18, 2026 8:02 PM by Dario in Spain - La Liga 2 | Modified on Mar 18, 2026 8:02 PM
The upcoming clash between Huesca and Almería opens matchday 31 of LaLiga Hypermotion, promising an intriguing duel between two sides living very different realities. The home team is struggling to escape the relegation zone, while the visitors are firmly in the promotion race. Both teams come into this fixture after defeats in the previous round, which adds an extra layer of urgency and motivation to this encounter.
Huesca suffered a heavy 5-3 defeat away to Málaga in their last league outing, a result that extended their winless streak to four matches. Over that period, they have collected just one point out of twelve possible, a run that has left them in 19th place in the LaLiga 2 standings with 31 points. The team’s short-term goal is clear: to climb out of the relegation zone, from which they are currently three points adrift.
Across the season, Huesca’s record stands at 8 wins, 7 draws, and 15 defeats. They have averaged 1.0 goals scored per game while conceding 1.4. In their last five matches, they have managed 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses, scoring an average of 1.2 goals and conceding 1.6. These numbers underline the defensive fragility that has plagued their campaign, as well as the inconsistency in front of goal that continues to cost them valuable points.
Despite their struggles, Huesca will look to take advantage of playing at home, where they have shown more resilience. A strong start and defensive discipline will be crucial if they are to stop a high-scoring Almería side.
Almería travel to El Alcoraz after a 2-0 defeat against Real Zaragoza, a setback that ended their impressive six-match unbeaten streak. Before that loss, they had recorded five wins and one draw, a run that propelled them to third place in the table, level on points with second-placed Deportivo La Coruña. Their promotion ambitions remain intact, and they will be eager to bounce back immediately.
Over the course of the season, Almería have registered 15 wins, 8 draws, and 7 defeats, averaging 1.8 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per match. In their last five games, they have achieved 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, maintaining a solid attacking rhythm with 1.8 goals per game. Their consistency, especially in the first halves of matches, has been remarkable — they have not lost at half time in 24 of their last 25 fixtures, including 22 of their last 23 in LaLiga 2.
Almería’s attacking power and ability to control games early on make them a dangerous opponent. Even away from home, they have shown resilience, avoiding first-half defeats in 18 of their last 20 away fixtures. Their focus will be on regaining momentum and keeping pressure on the top two positions in the league.
The recent history between Huesca and Almería has been remarkably balanced. Their last five meetings have all ended in draws, including a 0-0 stalemate in November 2025. Across those encounters, both sides have averaged just 0.6 goals scored per game, highlighting how tight and cautious these fixtures tend to be.
Given the current form, Almería enter this match as slight favorites. Their attacking efficiency and defensive organization contrast with Huesca’s recent instability. However, the home side’s need for points could push them to take more risks, potentially opening up spaces that Almería’s forwards can exploit. On the other hand, if Huesca manage to keep things compact and frustrate their opponents, they could force another low-scoring draw.
Statistically, both teams have shown tendencies toward balanced matches: the probability of both teams scoring stands at 48%, while the likelihood of Under 2.5 goals is slightly higher at 52%. These figures suggest a tactical battle rather than an open, high-scoring affair.
This fixture brings together two sides with contrasting objectives but similar motivations to recover from recent defeats. Huesca will rely on home support and the urgency of their situation to deliver a strong performance, while Almería will aim to reaffirm their promotion credentials with a composed and efficient display.
Considering the data and recent dynamics, a cautious first half is expected, with Almería’s attacking quality likely to make the difference as the game progresses. Huesca’s defensive record suggests they may struggle to contain sustained pressure, especially in the second half, where Almería often find their rhythm.
BetMines prediction: Almería win (2) with a probability of 35%. The draw (X) follows closely at 29%, while a home win (1) for Huesca stands at 37%. Given the narrow margins, this match could hinge on small details, but Almería’s consistency and attacking edge make them the more likely side to prevail.
