Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Mirandés have unexpectedly won two consecutive matches, climbing to the second spot in the table. They now face a challenging away fixture at Oviedo, where it will be tough to earn points and maintain their promotion push.
Real Oviedo
In their previous outing, the hosts drew with Málaga (0:0). However, that match saw the sending off of key defender Oier Luengo, whose absence will undoubtedly impact the team's future performances. The coaching staff will need to focus on defence, but this will likely affect their attacking play. It's worth noting that Real Oviedo have been on an unbeaten run for six rounds now, achieving success primarily through solid defence — they kept a clean sheet in four of those six matches.
Mirandés
The visitors continue to boast the best defence in the league, conceding just three goals in ten rounds. However, their attacking play leaves much to be desired, as only Ferrol (6) have scored fewer than Mirandés (7). Notably, in eight of Mirandés' ten matches this season, only a single goal was scored.
Real Oviedo vs Mirandés Prediction
In this match, we will witness a clash between two defensive sides, encounters that are rarely thrilling or high-scoring. It's difficult to predict who will emerge victorious in the upcoming game, so we expect the trend of low-scoring Mirandés matches to continue and anticipate a limited number of goals. We're betting on the total under.
