Huesca vs Cordoba Prediction 12.01.2026 | Segunda Division

After pushing for playoff contention last term, the 2025–26 campaign paints a vastly different picture for Huesca, who now find themselves stuck in troubled waters, occupying 19th place in the relegation zone and desperately searching for a route out of the bottom four.

The Oscenses’ season has been defined by a worrying lack of consistency, having emerged victorious in just five of their 20 league outings so far, although their home form offers a rare glimmer of optimism. No fewer than 16 of their 23 points this season have been collected on familiar soil, a return that keeps faint hopes alive as they head into matchweek 20.

If the Aragon-based outfit are to engineer a climb toward safety, significant improvement will be required in the final third, with their tally of 19 goals leaving them as the second-lowest scorers in the Segunda División, bettered only by Zaragoza, who have managed just 17 strikes of their own.

On the team news front, Jordi Martin has finally shaken off his long-term ACL injury and returned to the matchday squad during the 4–1 defeat to Castellon last time out, while attacking duo Samuel Ntamack and Diego Aznar remain sidelined with knee issues.

After comfortably steering clear of the relegation battle during their return campaign last season, Cordoba now appear well-positioned to mount a genuine push for the playoff places. Currently sitting in mid-table with a modest haul of 29 points, the Andalusian side trail Cadiz by just five points, with the latter holding the final playoff berth at this stage of the season.

Cordoba showed clear signs of progress in December, grinding out scoreless draws against relegation-threatened Leganes and Cadiz before claiming an eye-catching 2-1 away victory over Mirandes. That momentum carried seamlessly into the new year, as Ivan Ania’s men opened 2026 in commanding fashion with a routine 2-0 success against playoff hopefuls Burgos.

The prospect of playing away from home is unlikely to deter Cordoba’s ambitions, particularly given their impressive resilience on the road. Ania’s side have avoided defeat in each of their last seven away outings, collecting three wins and four draws to underline their growing maturity and defensive solidity away from El Arcangel.

With no significant injury concerns emerging in January, Ania has the luxury of a settled and well-balanced squad, allowing Cordoba to focus fully on exploiting Huesca’s defensive vulnerabilities. A positive result here would not only extend their current four-match unbeaten run, but also further cement their credentials as serious playoff contenders while opening the door to a climb up the standings.
