Granada vs Huesca: prediction, head-to-head and probable lineups – 28 March 2026
The 32nd round of the Spanish Segunda will take place on Saturday, March 28, at the “Nuevo Los Carmenes” stadium. Both teams have very different objectives: Granada (14th place) is trying to secure safety from the relegation zone, while Huesca (19th) is in a desperate fight for survival.
Match preview
Under the guidance of Pacheta, Granada is steadily finding its rhythm. In March 2026, the team has shown solid form: in their last five fixtures, the Andalusians have picked up two crucial wins and one draw. At home, Granada is traditionally aggressive and looks to dictate the tempo. Their main trump card remains the attacking line — Gonzalo Petit is in excellent shape, while Alex Sola leads the league in chances created. Victory in this round would allow the "Nazaríes" to finally pull clear of the relegation scrap and finish the season in comfort.
Granada’s squad situation is stable, though there are a few absentees: Ander Astralaga and Ruben Alcaraz will miss out. However, the squad depth allows Pacheta to rotate without major issues. At “Nuevo Los Carmenes,” Granada will look to take the initiative, relying on quick transitions from defense to attack and the individual brilliance of their wingers. It's crucial for Granada to break their recent run of home slip-ups and build on last round’s success.
Huesca, under Jose Luis Oltra, is in deep crisis. The team has gone five matches without a win, losing four of them. Sitting 19th, “Oscenses” are at serious risk of dropping to the third tier if they don’t start picking up points soon. The visitors’ main issue is poor finishing and disastrous away form. This season, Huesca have conceded far too much for a team fighting to stay up, and their attack — led by Enol Rodríguez — has often been left starving for service.
The situation is worsened by a long injury list. The visitors’ infirmary is overflowing: Enol Rodríguez, Toni Abad, Jesús Álvarez, and Joaquín Fernández are all confirmed absentees. Such a significant list of losses forces Hidalgo to rely on deep rotation and a closed 5-4-1 system. Most likely, Huesca will travel to Granada with a single goal — to hold out for a goalless draw, packing the area in front of their box as much as possible.
Key facts and head-to-head
- Granada are unbeaten in their last three matches.
- Four of Granada’s last five games have seen more than two goals scored.
- Huesca have won just one of their last seven matches.
- In the last ten meetings between these teams, the record is perfectly balanced: three wins each and four draws.
- The reverse fixture ended in a 1-0 win for Granada.
Probable lineups
- Granada: Zidane - Naasei, Lama, Williams, Diallo - Hormigo, Trigueros, González - Sola, Diocou, Petit
- Huesca: Jiménez - Carrillo, Piña, Pulido, Martín - Seoane, Sielva, Portillo - Laquintana, Ojeda, Escobar
Prediction
Granada look like the undisputed favorites in this clash. Their superior form, home support, and, most importantly, the critical absences in the visitors’ squad make the hosts overwhelming favorites for all three points. Huesca will travel with a defensive mindset, hoping for a draw, but with such a long run of poor results and key defenders missing, it will be extremely tough to withstand Granada’s organized pressure. The Nazaríes’ quality should show from the very first half. My prediction: Granada win.
