Real Oviedo vs Girona: match preview
Real Oviedo are currently anchored to the bottom of the league table and face an extremely difficult battle for survival in La Liga. After 21 matches, the team have collected 13 points and occupy the last place in the standings. The gap to 17th place currently stands at nine points. In this campaign, they have managed to win only two matches. Their current winless streak has stretched to 15 games, with defeats in the previous two. As a result, closing this gap will indeed be very difficult.
Girona started this season disastrously, but as the campaign progressed, they gradually found their rhythm and began to pick up points. Girona are now on a four-match unbeaten run, recording three wins and one draw. After 21 rounds, the Catalan side have collected 25 points and currently sit in tenth place in the table. However, their cushion over the relegation zone is just four points, meaning nothing has been decided yet for Girona. A tough battle lies ahead, but given their current form, Girona have a real chance of retaining their place in La Liga.
Probable line-ups
- Real Oviedo: Escandell; Ahijado, Carmo, Costas, Lopez; Colombatto, Sibo; Hassan, Reina, Chaira; Vina
- Girona: Ter Stegen; Martinez, Reis, Blind, Moreno; Beltran, Martin; Tsygankov, Lemar, Gil; Vanat
Prediction
Girona are in good form at the moment, and I believe they can extend it in this match. I suggest a bet on the Catalan side not to lose this encounter.
