Villarreal B seek third straight win at El Alcoraz as Albelda returns | OneFootball

Villarreal B head to El Alcoraz on Sunday at 12:00 chasing a third straight league win after beating Rayo Majadahonda 2-1 and Algeciras CF 2-0.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, David Albelda will take charge for the first time this season in an official match after completing a two-match suspension. The Valencian coach has his full squad available and will look to extend their early momentum.

Raúl Jardiel’s SD Huesca are also unbeaten, having drawn 1-1 at home to Sant Andreu and 2-2 away at Real Jaén. The Aragonese side shape up as a robust unit that could demand a near-perfect display from the visitors to claim the points.

This will be Villarreal B’s sixth visit to Huesca. They won only the first, in 2009/10, 0-1 via a Joan Tomás penalty with Juan Carlos Garrido in charge. Since then they have suffered three defeats and earned one draw, 0-0 in 2023/24.

Breaking that run would underline their intent after a fast start. With confidence high and options plentiful, Albelda’s side now seek to prove their credentials in one of the sternest early tests.
