Racing Ferrol vs Huesca prediction, H2H and probable line-ups — 2 December 2025
In the 1/32 finals of the Copa del Rey, Racing Ferrol and Huesca are set to clash. The match will take place on Tuesday, December 2, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 Central European Time. I'm offering a bet on the match's scoring potential.
Match preview
Last season, Racing endured a disastrous campaign in the Segunda, consistently looking like one of the league's weakest sides. Their second-to-last finish and subsequent relegation came as little surprise.
This new season, however, the team started with renewed confidence, immediately signaling their intent to bounce right back to Spain's second tier. In recent games, Ferrol have showcased good organization and a knack for transitioning swiftly from defense to attack. Their current third place in the Primera RFEF seems well deserved.
The Copa del Rey has always been a chance for Racing to show their fighting spirit. They already faced a tough test against Langreo in the opening round, but clinched a spot in the 1/32 finals thanks to a penalty shootout victory.
Home advantage remains a huge factor: the team consistently picks up points in front of their own fans, playing aggressively and applying high pressing. The match against Huesca won't be easy, but in cup football, mentality and grit often take center stage—so it's far too early to count Ferrol out.
Last season, Huesca failed to reach the La Liga promotion playoffs, finishing eighth. The start of this campaign was supposed to reaffirm the club's ambitions, but things have proved far more complicated.
Huesca are currently navigating a turbulent spell: results have been inconsistent and the team has yet to find stability. Their Segunda standing is below expectations, hampered by squad issues and defensive lapses. That said, Huesca often look more composed and pragmatic in cup matches than in the league.
The team relies on quick transitions and vertical attacks—an approach that works especially well against opponents who like to dominate possession. Away from home, Huesca tend to sit back, patiently waiting for their moment to strike on the counter. This tactic has paid off in previous Copa del Rey rounds.
It's also worth noting that November saw some slight improvements in their play, though consistency is still lacking. The Copa del Rey remains a key opportunity for Huesca to salvage their shaky start to the season, and in the previous round they confidently dispatched Utebo.

Prediction
Both teams tend to play open football, especially in cup ties where managers rotate their squads and often focus on attacking play. Ferrol consistently create chances at home, while Huesca are traditionally dangerous on the counterattack. I’m betting on the total over 2 goals.
