On Monday, September 1st, Huesca will host Eibar at El Alcoraz Stadium in the penultimate fixture of Matchday 3 of LaLiga 2 2025/26. Two teams with nearly identical paths so far will face off, as both are tied on 4 points after the first two games. The home side is looking for a second consecutive win after their success against Mirandés, a team that came close to promotion last season. A result far from ordinary, one that puts the Azulgranas among the potential surprises of this campaign, especially considering they finished eighth last season, just five points away from the last playoff spot. For Sergi Guilló’s men, now in their fifth consecutive year in LaLiga 2, it’s time to try and make the big leap, even if the road is still long. The first significant obstacle for Huesca comes in the form of Eibar, who finished right behind them last season in ninth place. Eibar is coming off a convincing 3-0 win against Granada, a result that lifted them to 4 points in the table. Despite tough competition in the playoff zone, Beñat San José’s side aims to get closer to the top spots this year and pursue a return to LaLiga after five years. Curiously, Huesca and Eibar share a common fate, as both were relegated from LaLiga in the same 2020/21 season. With the dream of returning to Spain’s top flight, the outcome of this clash will reveal a lot about which of the two has the stronger chance to keep that ambition alive until the end.

Huesca's recent form and key stats

Huesca has started the season positively with 4 points after the first two rounds. After a 1-1 draw in their opener against Leganes, Guilló’s men went on to win 1-0 away at Mirandés thanks to the first goal of the season from Sergi Enrich, the striker who arrived this summer from Real Zaragoza.

Huesca hasn’t lost at home in three official matches: before drawing with Leganes, they had closed last season with back-to-back home wins against Elche (2-1) and Eldense (3-2). In LaLiga 2 2024/25, the Azulgranas built much of their success at home, where they collected 41 points compared to just 23 away, averaging 1.86 goals scored and 1.19 conceded per match.

Eibar's recent form and key stats

Last Friday, Eibar showed their strength with a dominant 3-0 win against Granada, proving they could be one of the big revelations of the tournament. Benat San José’s team left no chance to their opponents, striking first through Javier Marton and then pulling away in the second half thanks to goals from Arbilla and Rodriguez. With that win, they too reached 4 points in the standings.

The Basques also have a solid recent away record: in their last 8 trips, they’ve lost only once, while picking up five draws and two wins. However, their overall away form in the 2024/25 season was disappointing: 4 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses, with an average of 0.81 goals scored and 1.05 conceded per match.

Huesca vs Eibar prediction and tactical overview

With both teams level on 4 points, Huesca vs Eibar promises to be a balanced and hard-fought match. Neither side will want to suffer their first defeat of the season.

Huesca has shown defensive solidity, conceding just 3 goals in their last 9 matches, including preseason and the start of this season. However, their attacking output has been poor, as they haven’t scored more than one goal in any of their last six matches.

Eibar faces similar attacking issues. Before their big win against Granada (who went down to 10 men in the 59th minute when it was still 1-0), they had scored only 3 goals in their previous 7 games. On the other hand, their defense has been strong, conceding just 1 goal in their last 4 outings between preseason and league.
