Real Oviedo vs Espanyol predictions: A low-scoring affair
Key stats
- Five of Espanyol's last six meetings with Real Oviedo went below the 2.5-goal threshold.
- Espanyol are currently on a four-match winless run.
- There were at least 11 corners in four of Espanyol's last five games.
Correct score prediction: Real Oviedo 1-1 Espanyol
Real Oviedo have suffered six defeats in eight La Liga games this season, while Espanyol are still hunting for their first away win of the campaign (D2, L1).
Both teams have not particularly been able to find their stride, and considering two of Espanyol's last three games ended in stalemates, we are confident that the spoils will be shared between these teams after all is said and done.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Espanyol are slightly favoured
- HOME: 19/10 (2.90) – 34.5%
- DRAW: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
- AWAY: 6/4 (2.50) – 40%
