On June 21, the Mediterráneos stadium will host the second leg of the playoff final for a coveted spot in La Liga, as Oviedo faces off against Mirandés. For this clash, I’m suggesting a bet on goals, cards, or the winner.

Oviedo
The club has a long, not always glorious, but certainly dramatic history. Oviedo is mostly remembered for being repeatedly saved from bankruptcy at the last moment by wealthy investors. After that, the team clawed its way back up and secured a place in the Segunda. Only in 2024 did they finally make a breakthrough: finishing sixth in the regular season, reaching the playoff final, but ultimately losing to Espanyol.
This new campaign saw Oviedo maintain and even build on that level. They were just one win short of direct promotion to La Liga. No worries—they got past Almería: a 2-1 away win, then a draw at home. Now, only a victory on their own turf will do.
Mirandés
No matter what, this season has been the best in the club’s history. Mirandés, who only made their Segunda debut a little over a decade ago in 2012 and even dropped out for a couple of years, matched their opponent’s tally this spring with 75 points. That’s quite a leap, considering they finished just eighteenth last year!
Under Alessio Lisci, Mirandés didn’t flinch in their first-ever playoff campaign. First, they handled Racing—3-3 in Santander, then 4-1 at home. Then, thanks to a single goal from Reina Campos in just the third minute, they secured a crucial advantage heading into this decisive return leg.
Match facts
- Oviedo haven’t won in their last two matches
- On average, Oviedo scores 1.33 goals and concedes 1 goal per game.
- Mirandés have won seven of their last ten matches
H2H
Mirandés have won both of the most recent encounters 1-0. But those wins came at home, and earlier this season they suffered a heavy away defeat in the first round.
Oviedo vs Mirandés prediction
Bookmakers believe the hosts are capable of a remontada. But with so much at stake, I’m backing "under 2.0 total goals" (odds—1.89).
