Huesca vs Elche: Segunda Division Prediction (17.05.2025)

On May 17, 2025 at 23:30 WIB, one of the key clashes of Matchweek 40 in LaLiga 2 will take place between Huesca and Elche. Bookmakers slightly favor the visitors. Let’s analyze the form and motivation of both teams to find the best bet for this match.

Huesca

Huesca have had a strong season overall, but they seem to be running out of steam toward the finish. Heading into the final rounds, the Oscenses are on a four-match winless streak and have only won two of their last ten matches. As a result, they have dropped to 8th place and are currently outside the promotion playoff zone, though still in contention — only four points separate them from 6th place.

However, discipline has become a serious issue. In their last two home defeats, they picked up red cards, and in a recent match against tough opposition like Racing Santander, Huesca received three red cards in a single game.

Elche

Elche are still leading the Segunda División, but their position is far from secure. They’ve started slipping up, with only two wins in their last five matches. Most recently, they lost to direct rival Levante, allowing them to close the gap to just one point. Even more concerning: only three points now separate Elche from third place, which would force them into the playoffs.

To ensure automatic promotion to La Liga, Elche must stay within the top two. This match is crucial to achieving that goal.

Head-to-Head Stats

Since 2023, the two sides have met three times, with Huesca holding a narrow edge — 2 wins to 1. Interestingly, the away team won in all three meetings, which is unusual in the Segunda División, where home teams typically perform better.

Prediction

We predict a slight edge for Elche in this matchup. Huesca are in a slump, and this could be the perfect opportunity for the league leaders to capitalize. Our betting recommendation: Elche Draw No Bet at odds of 1.55.
