Real Oviedo Form
Real Oviedo face a tough league table situation and have struggled for goals this season: 20 goals in 29 rounds, averaging 0.69 goals per match. The hosts’ current form has been inconsistent. After a home win over Valencia (1:0), Real Oviedo drew with Espanyol, but then lost again — to Rayo Vallecano (0:3) and Levante (2:4). In the last five rounds, the team have just one win.
- Real Oviedo have played their last 10 home matches with an individual total under 1.5 goals.
- In 9 of the club’s previous 10 home matches, the total has been under 2.5 goals.
- Real Oviedo’s opponents have recorded over 11.5 shots in 9 of the team’s last 10 matches.
Potential Real Oviedo Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Aaron Escandell – Javi Lopez, David Costas, Eric Bailly, Nacho Vidal – Nicolas Fonseca, Kwasi Sibo – Alberto Reina, Thiago Fernandez, Ilyas Chaira – Federico Vinas.
Sevilla Form
Sevilla sit notably higher, but their season has also remained problematic: 15th place, 31 points and 49 goals conceded. The away side average 1.28 goals scored per match and concede 1.69, so their games are usually more open than Real Oviedo’s. Ahead of the trip to Oviedo, the visitors have suffered two straight defeats — 0:2 against Valencia and 2:5 against Barcelona. Before that came draws with Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis Balompie, while their last win was against Getafe. Against that backdrop, the impact of a managerial change is especially important: Sevilla are now being prepared for the match by Luis Garcia Plaza.
- Sevilla have not won 9 of their last 10 away matches.
- The team commit an average of 14.93 fouls per match.
- The club receive an average of 2.66 yellow cards per match.
Potential Sevilla Lineup (4-3-3)*
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Gabriel Suazo, Kike Salas, Cesar Azpilicueta, Nemanja Gudelj – Djibril Sow, Lucien Agoume, Juanlu Sanchez – Alexis Sanchez, Neal Maupay, Ruben Vargas.
