R. Oviedo vs Racing Santander Prediction & Betting Tips (16 March)

Oviedo, 7th, is in the fight for qualification for the final stages of the championship after this regular season. Luis Carrion's team is in ambush just 3 points from second place held by Elche, the first two go directly to La Liga. Real Oviedo has performed well in the last two days, bagging 6 points against Levante 3-2 and at Albacete 1-2 last weekend. Unbeatable in its Nuevo Carlos Tartiere stadium for 12 matches, 9 wins and 3 draws, Oviedo has notably won the first 4 of the championship since mid-November, namely EIbar 2-1, Espanyol 2-0, Elche 3-2 and Leganes 1-0.

Racing Santander knows the complexity of the mission that awaits it, especially since José Alberto Lopez's team has lost 3 of their last 5 trips to Eibar 2-0, Valladolid 3-1 and Albacete 2-0. Peque Fernandez's 14-goal partners have picked up 7 points in the last 4 days, winning at home against Leganes 2-1 and Tenerife 4-2 last weekend then losing at Albacete 2-0 and drawing at Ferrol 2-2. Defeated in Oviedo last season 1-0, Racing Santander could once again be in difficulty during this new visit.

Somewhat incredibly, 21 of the previous 21 LaLiga2 fixtures involving R. Oviedo have seen the net bulge at both ends, and this includes a run of ten consecutive home matches in which this has been the case. Although Racing Santander cannot compete with these numbers, it should still be pointed out that they have both scored and conceded in ten of their last 14 away games.
