SD Huesca vs Elche recent form
Relegated to LaLiga 2 in 2021, SD Huesca is looking to return to the top flight. This season. The mission is complicated by the fact that the club finished 13th in 2022, 15th in 2023 and 17th in 2024. This season is better for Huesca. They are currently in 8th place with 58 points, 4 fewer than the top 6 in the play-offs. With 3 games to go, the mission is not impossible, but quiet complicated, especially as Jorge has not won in 4 games, including 3 big defeats and 1 draw
Elche, on the other hand, are keen to return to the top flight after 2 seasons in the Segunda Division. Current LaLiga 2 leaders, Elche Club de Futbol have 71 points. But watch out!

A slip-up is out of the question if Franjiverdes is to finish top and join the elite next year. Elche have lost just 1 of their last 10 matches, winning 6 and drawing 3. On paper, they are favourites for this match.
