Real Oviedo vs Eibar prediction 19.11.2023

• Competition: La Liga 2
• Date: Sunday, 19th November 2023
• Kickoff: 15:15 UK / 16:15 CET
• Venue: Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere (Oviedo)

On Sunday afternoon at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere, the best defensive team, Real Oviedo, will welcome the best offensive team in La Liga 2, Eibar. 

Real Oviedo constantly played in the top-flight division in their history but got relegated in the 2000/01 season. Since then, they have gone through a difficult period and were close to being relegated to the fourth tier of Spanish football. This season is their ninth consecutive in the La Liga 2, where they were mostly a mid-table team. The current season started terribly for Carbayones as they were without a win in the first seven rounds. But after that poor start, they changed the coaching staff and started playing much better. Right now, they are 14th with 19 points in 15 matches. 

Eibar spent seven seasons in La Liga but were eventually relegated in the 2020/21 season and constantly looked for a return. In the previous two seasons in La Liga 2, they were super close to gaining promotion and missed it only by one point. This season, Los Armeros are once again among the best teams in the league and are currently 4th with only one point away from the desired 2nd place. 

Real Oviedo vs Eibar pick: Eibar to (AH 0) win

Real Oviedo are on a nine-game unbeaten run, but we have to take that with a pinch of salt because they primarily faced teams from the bottom half of the league table. Also, that run was really close to being broken in the last game, as they were seconds away from losing the game vs the last-placed Cartagena. Luckily for Oviedo, they equalized from the penalty spot and kept the streak alive. 

Eibar are on an even better streak of 11 unbeaten games. Lately, they faced outstanding teams and did well. On the road, they looked really good, winning five of the last six games and scoring at least two goals every time! 

In the previous h2h games, Eibar were a much better team and haven't lost in the last eight encounters. Considering that and everything above, we favor Eibar just a little more to win the upcoming game.
