Real Oviedo vs Eibar prediction 19.11.2023

• Competition: La Liga 2
• Date: Sunday, 19th November 2023
• Kickoff: 15:15 UK / 16:15 CET
• Venue: Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere (Oviedo)

On Sunday afternoon, Real Oviedo, the best defensive team, will host Eibar, the best offensive team in La Liga 2, at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere.

Real Oviedo has a history of regularly playing in the top-tier division, but the 2000/01 season saw them relegated. The subsequent period has been challenging, with the team narrowly avoiding relegation to the fourth tier of Spanish football. Currently, they are in their ninth consecutive season in La Liga 2, typically occupying a mid-table position. The start of the current season was rough for the Carbayones, with no wins in the first seven games. However, a change in coaching staff led to improved performance. They are now ranked 14th with 19 points from 15 matches.

Eibar, after spending seven seasons in La Liga, were relegated in the 2020/21 season and have been striving for a comeback ever since. In the subsequent two seasons in La Liga 2, they narrowly missed out on promotion, falling short by just one point. Currently, in this season, Los Armeros rank among the top teams in the league, sitting 4th and just one point shy of the coveted 2nd place.

Real Oviedo vs Eibar pick: Eibar to (AH 0) win

Though Real Oviedo boasts an impressive nine-game unbeaten streak, this should be taken with a grain of salt considering their opponents were mainly from the lower half of the league table. Their streak was nearly broken in their last game against league bottom-dweller Cartagena, barely avoiding a loss in the final seconds with a penalty spot equalizer, thereby maintaining their run.

Eibar is currently enjoying an impressive streak of 11 games without defeat. They have recently shown excellent form against top-notch teams. Their away performance has been particularly strong, with victories in five out of the last six matches and a minimum of two goals scored in each game!

In the past head-to-head matches, Eibar has consistently outperformed and maintained an eight-game undefeated streak. Taking that into account, along with other factors, we slightly favor Eibar to win the forthcoming match.
