Real Oviedo Preview
In their most recent match against Eibar, Oviedo suffered a sad 1-0 defeat when Peru Nolaskoain scored in the 69th minute. This fateful result completed a two-game winless streak after a positive start following victories over Tenerife and Mirandés, causing Real fans to (once again) lose their hopes. The team has had good games, but its inconsistency does not stop.
The team coached by Álvaro Cervera is in 16th place in La Liga SmartBank with 24 points from 6 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats. For this new Oviedo vs Sporting Gijón clash, the locals are expected to bring out their two stars: Borja Bastón, who is the leader in goals (7) and Sergi Enrich who, according to statistics, is one of the players who is one of the biggest threats against the opponent’s goal with an average of 0.89.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Quentín Braat; Lucas Ahijado, Tarín, Dani Calvo, Abel Bretones; Hugo Rama, Jimmy Suárez, Luismi, Marcelo Flores; Sergi Enrich, Borja Bastón.
Sporting Gijon Preview
The team from Gijón is currently eleventh in the SmartBank La Liga standings, the team coached by Abelardo Fernández has achieved 6 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats so far this season. In the last five matchdays, the Red and Whites have two wins, so they will come to the Oviedo vs Sporting Gijón match with the responsibility of improving their performance.
In their last match against CD Lugo, the Gijón team pulled out all the stops and won 1-0 thanks to a strong cross shot by Giovanni Zarfino inside the small area in the 81st minute. Most of the possession went to the home side, but Gijón, as visitors, had the personality to take the victory.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Diego Mariño; Guille Rosas, José Gragera, Diego Sánchez, Carlos Izquierdoz; Giovanni Zarfino, Christian Rivera; Jordan Carrillo, Juan Otero, Jony; Uroš Djurdjevic.
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account their recent results, we believe that this match will end up in a draw. Despite their inconsistency throughout the season, the Oviedo squad has players who can cause problems, and the home advantage is no small thing against a Gijón team that is sure to be on the attack.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
