Real Oviedo vs Real Zaragoza Predictions

• Real Oviedo are unbeaten in nine games
• Real Zaragoza have picked up just one wins in their last ten on the road
• Oviedo have kept four clean sheets in their last five

Real Oviedo on a roll

A few weeks ago you would have got good odds on Real Oviedo making the play-off spots, but an incredible burst of seven wins in nine has propelled them into the top six.

Cuco Ziganda’s side have been particularly strong at home, where they have picked up four successive victories, keeping a clean sheet on each occasion.

Indeed, they have suffered just two defeats at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere all season, as well as conceding only 14 goals in 19 outings, a defensive record bettered solely by Burgos.

Zaragoza’s season is all but over

It has been a mediocre campaign for Real Zaragoza, who will not be shifting divisions this season and have fall away from the top half of the table thanks to a run of one win in eight.

They have been particularly poor on the road, managing just the one victory, over Sporting Gijon, in ten, and picking up only four victories on their travels all season.

Juan Ignacio Martínez’s side average less than a goal per game away from home and have failed to score in five of the last ten, including defeats to promotion hopefuls Eibar and Almeria.

This should be a comfortable win for Real Oviedo, especially if they want to continue their push for La Liga. I predict they will win to nil, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
