Real Oviedo team overview
Real Oviedo managed to secure promotion last season after a 24-year wait. Unfortunately, they are super-close to taking an instant trip back to La Liga 2. A few rounds ago, it seemed impossible for them to avoid relegation as they were by far the worst team in La Liga. However, after 10 points in the past six games, they have shown some signs of life, and they have at least a theoretical chance to survive. At the moment, they are six points away from the safe zone, and this match against Elche is probably the most important match of the season for the popular Los Azules.
Defensive midfielder Nicolas Fonseca served his one-game suspension and will be available. He has been amazing in recent games, and we expect him back in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Leander Dendoncker, Alex Fores, and Luka Ilic, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.

Elche team overview
Elche also secured promotion to La Liga last year, and like Oviedo, their only goal was to survive. In the first part of the season, they were amazing and were constantly around the middle of the table. Unfortunately, they had a two-and-a-half-month period without a win, which complicated their lives. However, three wins in the past four games pushed them back to the safe zone (16th). Still, they are only two points away from the danger zone and have to keep winning points to survive.
After a 3:2 win over Atletico Madrid, coach Eder Sarabia spoke to the media. He was very pleased with the win, describing it as a crucial victory in their relegation battle. The coach praised the players for their bravery, especially on offense.

Prediction
Real Oviedo won seven points in the past three games and are in good form. Also, at home, they lost only twice in the past nine games - a mere 22%.
Elche are in good form as well. However, all of their good results came at home. On the road, they have lost seven in a row, and it is unreal to expect a major change all of a sudden. Also, even though they've won some recently, we weren't really impressed by their performances and believe they were a bit lucky in some matches.
Considering all the above, but especially Elche's atrocious road record, we believe that the hosts are a bit closer to winning the upcoming La Liga tie.
3 Reasons why Real Oviedo should (AH 0) win
- Real Oviedo won seven points in the past three games
- Real Oviedo lost only twice in the past nine home games
- Elche lost the past seven (official) road games
