Luis Suarez marked his Atletico Madrid debut with a brace and assist in 19 minutes as Atleti cruised to a 6-1 thrashing at home against Granada. Will newly-promoted Huesca suffer a similar fate? Or can Michel's side successfully stifle a side keen to close the gap on Real Madrid at the top this season?

It won't be easy, and they are underdogs despite having home comforts here, but after their mixed start to the new La Liga campaign, they should be quietly confident of earning a result. Read my match preview, for the correct score predictions and best betting tips ahead of this fixture.

Huesca vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips

Three games into their return to Spain's top-flight, Huesca have two points from a possible nine.

Considering a 2-0 home loss by fellow newcomers Cadiz is sandwiched by 1-1 draws against Villarreal and Valencia, they'll have mixed emotions. Villarreal dominated on MD1 and perhaps should have snatched a victory. You could argue the same in Huesca's favour against Valencia, who struggled creatively yet came away with a point.

Between Dimitrios Siovas, Jorge Pulido and Jaime Seoane, they recorded: 11 clearances, nine tackles, eight interceptions and 16 ground duels won.

The former two are a capable centre-back pairing, while Seoane (23) - a Real Madrid academy graduate - has impressed early on. However, they need to sustain those high levels while seeing consistent production from teammates.

Rafa Mir, on-loan from Wolves, has alternated between the wing and centre-forward positions with Shinji Okazaki to limited effect thus far. David Ferreiro excelled against Valencia on Saturday - four interceptions, two key passes, two successful dribbles and an assist - but Atletico pose a different challenge.

Los Che are in a state of transition, while Diego Simeone's side are defiantly trying to close the gap on their La Liga title rivals. Joao Felix scored and assisted in the same game for the first time since his big-money move from Benfica last summer, while Angel Correa (one goal, two assists) and others flourished too.

Huesca vs Atletico Madrid Correct Score Predictions

Huesca should provide more of a test than Granada did at the weekend, but Atletico should prove too strong - given their attacking capabilities, it's an unwelcome prospect to defend against.
