Prediction: 2-0
Oviedo
All eyes will be on Estadio Municipal de Butarque when Leganes and Real Oviedo face each other in the La Liga2 round 16. The capital club aim to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s football game. Borja Garces is pushing for a start as he found the net in the last league match. You should bear in mind, though, that Leganes are after their only second home win of the season.
Los Azules, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Las Palmas. Real Oviedo aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, but seeing that the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on the capital club. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be experienced attacker Borja Baston.
