Competition: Spain La Liga 2
Competition: Sun 09.May
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere (3000 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Real Oviedo are in the 14th position while the guesting Sabadell worry at 19th.

Insights:
  • Real Oviedo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Sabadell have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Sabadell have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Sabadell are struggling to avoid relegation.

Real Oviedo form and stats

The story so far in the La Liga 2 for Real Oviedo at their home stadium (Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere) is 5 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats.

Real Oviedo manager J. Ziganda Lacunza and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Almeria (placed 3rd) in the La Liga 2. Before that game, the home loss against Girona with the scoreline 0-1.

Late drama in the game against Almeria as Oviedo were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Simone Grippo popped out and made it level in the 83rd minute.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Real Oviedo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won six times, drawn seven and lost four.

The Real Oviedo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 18 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Real Oviedo have conceded 20 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
