Levante Union Deportiva S.A.D. vs Real Oviedo S.A.D.: Match Prediction
Two direct rivals meet as they look to climb out of the relegation zone. Both teams will be targeting victory, so we should see an entertaining contest with a decent number of chances. Levante Union Deportiva S.A.D. matches are rarely dull in general, as at least two goals were scored in six of the club’s last seven league games. That same scoring mark has been reached in 23 of the last 25 home matches for the Valencians in La Liga, with 13 of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.
Real Oviedo S.A.D. still score fewer than anyone else in La Liga, but their numbers have been gradually improving over time. At the same time, the team regularly make defensive mistakes, which means the Asturians rarely manage to keep a clean sheet. As a result, fewer than two goals were scored in only three of the club’s previous 11 matches in the Spanish league. And if we look specifically at away statistics, in four of Real Oviedo S.A.D.'s last five La Liga games on the road we have actually seen at least three goals.
Prediction: Over 2 goals
