Real Oviedo vs Ponferradina Predictions

• Both teams have scored in each of Ponferradina’s last five matches, and in four of Real Oviedo’s last five.
• Only four teams in the Segunda Division have outscored Ponferradina this season.
• In Borja Baston and Youri de Souza, the teams boast two of the most lethal strikers in the Spanish second-tier.

Unpredictable affair should bring goals

Real Oviedo’s mixed campaign sees them go into their final outing of 2021 two points shy of a playoff place, and eight behind promotion-chasing visitors Ponferradina.

While Oviedo have lost just one home league game this season, they have drawn five of the other nine, and their visitors have managed more points on their travels than any other side in the Spanish Segunda Division. With the outcome of Friday’s clash appearing difficult to call, backing goals in Oviedo looks the smartest play.

Only four teams, all of them currently in the promotion picture, have scored more than the 28 league goals netted by Ponferradina so far this season. Meanwhile, both teams have netted in each of the visitors’ last five games, and in four of the last five featuring hosts Real Oviedo.

Back both teams to net on New Year’s Eve

Considering the entertainment that both sides have served up in their recent fixtures, as well as the fact that their respective strikers, Borja Baston (11 goals) and Youri de Souza (nine goals), are both among the division’s most lethal, backing goals looks the best way to go on Friday.

We’re backing both teams to find the net in this New Years’ Eve clash. With Oviedo having drawn 11 of their 21 games so far this season, and Ponferradina unbeaten in seven matches, a 1-1 draw could represent a decent correct score prediction.
