Elche vs Real Oviedo Predictions

Elche can secure the points

Elche are the best bet to beat Oviedo at home in the Primera Liga on Sunday. The visitors have not been great going forward this season and Elche can take advantage.

Elche are eighth in the league table, eight places above Oviedo, with just three points separating the two sides. Both teams were promoted from the Segunda Division last season. Elche have one win and three draws from their four games, while Oviedo have won once and lost three.

Oviedo could not break their losing habit last weekend, going down 2-0 away to Getafe. Oviedo were priced as 17/5 outsiders to win the game, but would have been hoping to be more competitive than the final margin of defeat. Getafe did their scoring in the first half – 71% of the goals that Oviedo have conceded this season have come before the break.

The hosts are in form. Elche remain unbeaten after four games in the Primera Liga this season.

Elche have scored in their last 11 league games, but they only managed to find the net once in eight of those.

Elche may be able to edge out Oviedo in a closely-fought game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both sides have scored in three of Elche’s four Primera Liga matches this season.
