Espanyol vs R. Oviedo Prediction & Betting Tips (20 May)

5th with a small point ahead of their evening opponent, Espanyol must not make any missteps this evening in their lair in order to believe in the top 4 and above all validate their ticket to play the playoffs for accession to the Liga. The Catalans were relegated from La Liga last year and have been undefeated in the league since February 10, an unbeaten streak of 13 games, but with a rather timid record of 9 draws and therefore only 4 victories. . Furthermore, Espanyol recorded a 5th successive draw last weekend on the pitch of Real Valladolid 0-0 having played outnumbered during the last twenty minutes of regulation time.

6th in the standings, Real Oviedo is for the moment the last qualified to participate in the playoffs for accession to La Liga but has everything to gain this evening on the road. Indeed, already the evening visitors will travel with newfound confidence following their two consecutive victories against Huesca on the road 0-2 and last weekend for the reception of Zaragoza of a goal in the 86th minute 1 -0 thanks in particular to the expulsion of Moya Zaragoza in the 73rd minute of play. These two successes allowed Oviedo to draw a line under its negative start to the series with two defeats against Cartagena 2-0 and against Tenerife at the home 0-1.

One area in which Espanyol have proven incredibly consistent recently is in their involvement in top-flight fixtures in which at least one of the two goalkeepers pitches a shutout, with this happening 13 times in 14 attempts. This has also been the case in seven of the last 11 matches involving R. Oviedo at this level, so more of the same is expected when the teams lock horns.
