Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Municipal de Ipurua when Eibar and Real Oviedo go head to head on the last day of the regular season. Los Armeros aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Sporting Gijon and a win over Oviedo could see them secure automatic La Liga promotion. Jon Bautista remains in the recovery room, while defensive duo Stefan Simic – Zabala Arbilla is banned for the match.
Los Azules, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Espanyol, with the team rolling over Andorra 3-0 at the weekend. Real Oviedo are one point away from booking their spot in the playoffs, but they will have a big fish to fry in the Basque Country. Considering that Eibar are on a five-game winning run at home ground, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Asturias with their hands empty. Both Santiago Cazorla and Rodrigo Tarin are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Oviedo):
Based in Oviedo, Asturias, Real Oviedo is a Spanish club that plays home games at Carlos Tartiere. Carlos Tartiere is one of the biggest stadiums in Segunda division as it can hold up to 30,500 spectators. Los Azules competed in La Liga in the 1990s, but in the 2001/02 campaign they suffered relegation to Segunda Division.
Real Oviedo have not competed in the Spanish top flight ever since. In the 1991/92 season los Azules represented Spain in the UEFA Cup, but Genoa proved to be a big catch for them in the round of 64. Real Oviedo have a rivalry with Sporting Gijon, with the two teams facing each other in the Asturian derby.
The likes of Robert Prosinecki, Stan Collymore, Dely Valdes, Abel Xavier, Paulo Bento, Marius Lacatus, Viktor Onopko, Ratomir Dujkovic, Juan Mata, Michu, Ibrahima Balde, and Slavisa Jokanovic are the famoust footballers who were part of Oviedo in the past. Carlos Munoz Cobo is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart.
