Huesca sits at the bottom of the league table with 24 points after 31 matches. Relatively, Barca ranks first in La Liga with 73 points.
What is the form of Huesca in contrast to Barcelona's?
Huesca approaches Saturday's encounter without a win in five matches across all competitions. The Alcoraz outfit has managed three wins from its last 10 outings while losing four and drawing thrice.
On paper, Saturday's encounter is a mismatch as the opponent the host faces remains undefeated in seven matches across all competitions. Barca enters the league encounter on the back of a 1-0 win to Manchester United in a UEFA Champions League quarter-final away match.
The Blaugrana have been defeated just once in their last 10 matches in all competitions, winning eight and drawing once.
Team news: Who is injured or suspended for Huesca vs Barcelona?
Ahead of the meeting with Barcelona, only Carlos Akapo remains a doubt for Huesca with an injury. Luisinho and Pablo Insua are long-term absentees while the side has been boosted by the return of defender Xabier Etxeita who was suspended for the previous game.
For Barcelona, the biggest talking point is Lionel Messi's omission from the traveling squad. The Argentine has been rested as a precaution after suffering a facial injury in the win over Manchester United.
Sergio Busquets will also be absent while Sergi Roberto, Thomas Vermaelen and Rafinha Alcantara are all out with injuries. Ivan Rakitic has been ruled out with illness.
