Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Real Oviedo will be looking to climb to the playoffs berth when they welcome Real Sociedad B to their Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on Matchday 29. Los Azules aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Burgos, and they are surely capable of beating the relegation strugglers in front of home fans. Experienced attacker Borja Baston, who scored the winner at the weekend, will be the man to watch in the home side, while Borja Sanchez should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Basques, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to Ponferradina, with the team beating Malaga 2-0 on home soil. The relegation-threatened, side, though, have been struggling on the travels of late, and they are unlikely to grab something from Sunday’s clash. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the Basque Country.
