Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
A spot in the Segunda Division playoffs final will be at stake when Eibar and Real Oviedo take on each other at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua on Wednesday evening. Los Armeros did well to hold Oviedo to a goalless draw in the first leg and they are seen as favourites to win the decider. As there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Joseba Etxeberria is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced los Azules at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in the first leg, with only eight goal attempts. As a result, they face an uphill task in the Basque Country. As Eibar have turned their “Ipurua” into a real fortress, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Santi Cazorla, Mario Hernandez, and Rodrigo Tarin miss out 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.
