Malaga and Real Oviedo meet in a match of the 38th round of the Segunda Division. The confrontation will be played on Monday, at 20:00, on Estadio La Rosaleda.
The two bands have met five times to date, the most recent duel being the one in the season. That was the only direct match played in the second league, one that ended without a goal scored.
Malaga faces this confrontation after five stages in which they suffered no less than three failures, two of which were recorded on their own ground. In the previous round, Victor Sanchez’s students ended the match at Cadiz, score 1-1, a duel in which were awarded not less than 8 yellow cards and where the guests had a possession of 67%.
On the other hand, Real Oviedo is unbeaten in the last six stages, but in this period, Asturias has only won two victories, both on the move and both with a score of 1-0.
Both teams had solid developments this season when they moved away from home, with Malaga ranked fourth in the standings (7 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats), while Real Oviedo is ranked 6th in this hierarchy (7 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats).
“Under 2.5 goals” was won in 6 of the last 8 games played by Victor Sanchez and 11 of the last 12 matches at Real Oviedo. Given that the stakes are the top 6 positions, the area of which Malaga (7th place) and Oviedo (8th place) are not part, we expect a balanced duel, one not to score more than two goals and in which the team in the form to win at least one point.
PREDICTION: Malaga to win @ 2,05
