La Almunia vs Huesca II - Tercera División RFEF - Group 17

La Almunia prepare to host Huesca II at the home ground on September 6, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their Tercera División RFEF - Group 17 season. The sheer joy on the 18-year-old defender’s face resonated with Paul Schaffran back at the academy.

There is plenty riding on this Tercera División RFEF - Group 17 encounter for La Almunia and Huesca II alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. The hosts have mirrored the form of a side still searching for rhythm — W over their last five, a win rate of 33.33%. Huesca II have struggled to string results together away from home, D over their last five with a win rate of 33.33%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — La Almunia average 1.33 per game to Huesca II's 1.33, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Skinner had another year to run on his contract but has decided to move on a month out from United beginning their Women’s Super League season at London City Lionesses on September 4.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. La Almunia will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Huesca II will back themselves to cause problems on the break. But it was a dual role for Rayo because he was also among the top dozen players for blocking crosses and winning possession in the defensive third.

In fixtures as finely poised as this one, it often comes down to who holds their nerve in the big moments — and both camps have players who relish that responsibility. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Tom Heaton: Would have been frustrated at the goal he conceded but one sharp save just before half-time and safe hands after the break. 7 Leny Yoro: Should have won the header for the first goal but improved after that.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 1-1 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Tercera División RFEF - Group 17 standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top.
