Real Oviedo hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 40 points and a 16th position in the La Liga 2 table. Visiting Fuenlabrada holds 12th place with 45 pts.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Real Oviedo and Fuenlabrada.

Real Oviedo form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Real Oviedo have managed 4 wins, 10 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 17 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

It's back home for Real Oviedo, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sporting Gijón away with the result 1-0. Borja Sánchez found the net in that victory. Before that, Oviedo drew at home versus Deportivo La Coruna.

The victory against Sporting Gijón came after Borja Sánchez's winning goal. The Real Oviedo manager J. Ziganda Lacunza was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 58th minute.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Real Oviedo have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won five, drawn five and lost one.

The manager J. Ziganda Lacunza will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Numancia in only three days.

The Oviedo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 17 matches. Oviedo have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Fuenlabrada form and stats

4 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Fuenlabrada playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Fuenlabrada have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Las Palmas game.

The supporters enjoyed Fuenlabrada's previous game versus Numancia (placed 18th), a La Liga 2 2-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rayo Vallecano wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fuenlabrada playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Fuenlabrada wins, five draws and two defeats.

After this away game Fuenlabrada return home for a La Liga 2 game against Extremadura UD. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Fuenlabrada have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Fuenlabrada - Oviedo 2-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Oviedo three wins, zero draws and Fuenlabrada one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
