Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Real Oviedo will look to get their revenge on Eibar for a 4-3 loss at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua when the two teams face each other in the Segunda Division playoffs semis, first leg. Los Azules are enjoying a successful season and they are surely capable of matching los Armeros in front of home fans. Veteran Santi Cazorla should recover in time to face Eibar, while both Mario Hernandez and Rodrigo Tarin returned to training.
The Basques, on the other hand, welcome duo Stefan Simic – Zabala Arbilla back from suspension. Given Eibar’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As always, a man to watch in the visiting side will be experienced forward Stoichkov, who has netted 12 goals in 39 appearances for Eibar this term. In their last meeting at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere Oviedo defeated Eibar 2-1.
