Crucial clash in the bottom part of the La Liga 2, with both Real Oviedo and Málaga enduring more stress than delight. This game is a real "six-pointer" with the home team positioned 19th and the guests in 21st position.
- Real Oviedo have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
These teams have little in common geographically as Málaga have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
