Real Madrid who sit on 3rd position in the table will host key team Huesca at the Santiago Bernabeu in the 29 La Liga match on 2018/19, Monday (01/4). Madrid are excited after the return of Zinedine Zidane, and Huesca can be their next victim.
In his first match in Zidane’s second training period, before the international break yesterday, Madrid won 2-0 to host Celta Vigo through goals from Isco and Gareth Bale.
Hosting Huesca, who in the league this season has had 16 defeats in 28 matches, Madrid were favored to win.
Isco and Bale are believed to be again believed to appear from the early minutes. But Thibaut Courtois, who was reserved by Zidane against Celta, is likely to be back on the bench.
At the first meeting of the season, when they still trained by Santiago Solari, Madrid only won 1-0 at home to Huesca. Bale’s single goal in the 8th minute was enough to ensure Madrid came home with maximum points.
This time, at the Bernabeu with Zidane, Madrid is very likely to win with a bigger margin.
But Madrid still cannot underestimate Huesca. There is one Huesca player to watch out for, namely striker Ezequiel Avila.
Avila contributed five goals and one assist in his last seven appearances for Huesca in La Liga. Sergio Ramos and friends need to neutralize all potential threats from him. If that can be done, the road to victory will be easier.
