Gijon vs R. Oviedo PREVIEW & PREDICTION 24/03/2019

Well, we’re going to look for cards in the weekend game, the Asturian derby. In addition to the tension of a derby, we find that it is a very important match for both in the face of their aspirations of play off.

As for the qualifying situation, we find Sporting eleventh to 6 points of the playoff. They saw him as an impossible practitioner a month ago, but after 9/9 they have been fully engaged.

Real Oviedo is seventh, one position below the privileged positions, which has only 1 point. Small gap that crosses after 1 win in the last 4 games and generating many doubts in Mallorca and against Lugo.

In the card section, we have Sporting as the fifth most-cautioned team with 81 yellow cards in and one red in 30 dates. They leave us an average of 2.78 points per card per game.

Real Oviedo mean less of the teams, with 67 yellow and red, leaving a low average of 2.4 goals per game.

Both would have matches of 5-6 cards.

As for the referee, it will be Diaz de Mera Escuderos. He has already scored 15 games, showing 86 yellows, 4 reds and one red for a double yellow. Leave an average of 66 points per card per game. Of the 15 matches that referee, I overcome the line in 7 of them (it stayed in 60 points in 2 occasions). He has refereed to Sporting on one occasion seeing 6 yellow and another at Oviedo seeing 8 yellow.

In this season, there were 7 yellows in the first leg. Last year they met twice, leaving 6 yellows in Tartiere and 6 in Molinon.

I think this game will be more tense. It is more important for both of them because of the qualifying situation, to which it is added that it is a derby. I hope a hot match and that De Mera will not cut when it comes to showing cards.

If it was not a derby it would not enter, but with the numbers of the referee, what is at stake (many of the sporting qualify as a final, of losing would be very far from the fight for promotion) and the maximum rivalry between the two It makes me think that it can come out.

The field will be touching the packed with 1200 fans.

Both teams have hot players, such as Uros, Cristian, Carmona, Tejera or Berjon.


PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1,50
