Huesca beat Amenabar 40:36 in the División de Honor Plata on Saturday evening, extending their unbeaten run to five matches. The home side stayed top of the table with ten points from five games, while the visitors remained rooted to fourteenth place with just one point from their opening round.
The result followed a familiar pattern for Huesca this season. They had won all five previous meetings in this competition, and the pattern held against a team that had lost four of their five outings before kickoff.
And here's the thing, we called for this result. Our pre-match assessment gave Huesca a 73 per cent chance of victory, and the scoreline reflected that confidence comfortably. The hosts controlled the tempo from the start and never allowed the visitors back into contention.
Huesca's five wins from five games puts them clear at the summit. They have not lost a match in this competition this season, and their goal difference of positive fourteen goals after five fixtures suggests they are building momentum at the right time.
Amenabar's situation is more precarious. They have managed only one draw in five games, and that solitary point came against Burgos on their opening day. They had lost their previous four matches before this fixture, and the result against Huesca did little to ease their concerns.
The final margin of four goals tells the story of a match where the home side never truly faced serious pressure. Huesca kept their composure throughout and saw out the game without allowing any late surge from the visitors.
