Real Oviedo form and stats

8 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Real Oviedo have to build on here at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere in the La Liga 2. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Real Oviedo has won four games in a row. The Eibar match was the last time out without a victory.

Oviedo's previous game was also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Ponferradina (placed 20th). The home side are looking to build on that result. The force was strong with Real Oviedo in their previous game playing Ponferradina. It looked dark when they went behind 0-2 but thanks to goals from Vallejo (2) and Rozada the match ended with a very strong 3-2 win. Vallejo, a forward, was the declared top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.33 (out of 10). Vallejo scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that match, a win away at UD Ibiza.

This is expected to be a close game, with Real Oviedo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Oviedo as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Real Oviedo has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.

Low on goals? Looking at this team's last 24 league games, 19 have seen two goals or less.

Real Zaragoza form and stats

There's been little loot from Real Zaragoza's travels as they have only collected 19 points from 19 away games in the La Liga 2. Real Zaragoza only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 7 draws. In general it has been a productive period now for Real Zaragoza as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.

Real Zaragoza's last game was the home draw against Las Palmas (1-1). Goalkeeper Álvarez made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Las Palmas. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Defender Gámez was the best team player with a rating of 7.4. Gámez served one assist, hit two key passes and won 5 of 10 duels.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Eibar that ended 1-1.

Lacking goals? 8 of this club's latest 10 league fixtures have contained two goals or less.
