Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Real Oviedo return to their home ground after a 1:0 loss in the first leg — now under pressure to produce a result that keeps their promotion ambitions alive. Mirandés, meanwhile, will aim to protect their slender advantage by focusing on defensive organisation. Interestingly, they have not managed a win in Oviedo for several years.
Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo conceded early in the first leg, with the only goal of the match scored in the third minute. Nevertheless, they created numerous chances throughout the game. The squad controlled long spells, missed a penalty, and finished goalless despite enjoying 59% of possession. On home soil, Real Oviedo have lost just once in their last 12 matches. They have scored in nine straight home fixtures and have remained unbeaten at home against Mirandés for the past nine years.
Mirandés
Mirandés made the most of the first leg: an early goal and disciplined defensive play allowed them to hold on to a slim lead. However, the squad has not been convincing on the road. Over their last 12 away matches, they have registered six defeats and managed just one clean sheet.
Real Oviedo vs Mirandés Prediction
Real Oviedo have shown strong form at home, and the outcome of the first leg arguably did not reflect their performance. In this second leg, they are expected to set the record straight and beat Mirandés — a win is the only result that would secure their place in La Liga.
