Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Real Oviedo have made a strong push for the play-off spots, collecting eight points from four matches (two wins, two draws) in the second half of the season. Meanwhile, Eldense are in free fall, slipping into the relegation zone due to a fragile defence that now faces one of the best home teams in Segunda.
Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo are in excellent form, remaining unbeaten in four consecutive matches while conceding just two goals in that span. At home, they have been dominant, winning eight of their 12 matches. Brazilian striker Alexandre Alemão is having a standout season, netting 12 goals—the third-highest tally in Segunda.
Eldense
Eldense have managed just one victory (1:0 against Tenerife) in their last nine matches across all competitions. Their defence is in disarray, conceding 18 goals over this period (an average of two per game). The attack is also struggling, with the team failing to score in five of those nine matches and boasting one of Segunda’s worst offensive records (less than one goal per game). Their top scorer has only five goals in 23 league matches, and their away record is dismal—just nine points from 12 games on the road.
Real Oviedo vs Eldense Prediction
Oviedo is in good form, while Eldense continues to struggle defensively and offensively. The hosts are unbeaten in their last three meetings against Eldense and should secure another win, scoring at least twice.
