We are going with a new analysis for Day 16, in it we will analyze the Asturian derby that faces Oviedo and Sporting de Gijón in Carlos Tartiere. The two teams arrive with similar dynamics but I think there are factors that tip the balance towards one of the two sides.
In the local parcel, we have Oviedo, 19th in the classification with 14 points, which comes from falling to Huesca 3-1 and has 3 games without knowing the victory. I think that Javier Pérez comes to the derby very fair but also competing in all the games, it is a derby, where the dynamics often matter very little what matters is the casualties and the place of the game. The derby is played in the Tartiere, so its fans should be a great point in favor to take Oviedo to victory.
Oviedo is the most top scorer in the league with 2.8 goals per game, if they keep a similar figure in this match, I think the visitors will not be able to face them due to their multiple casualties.
On the visiting side, we see Sporting, 16th in the standings with 17 points, which comes from losing at home to Numancia 0-1 and chains two consecutive losses. Arrives in the worst position in its history to a derby and with morale on the ground as one of its players has recognized. Visitors arrive with very important casualties such as Babin and Manu Garcia, the team’s star player, as well as Alvaro Traver’s doubt.
Sporting has only won this campaign once at home and it has been in Elche thanks to an exhibition by Manu Garcia, they are the 3rd worst team in the category and have a hard time scoring as visitors.
For all the above mentioned I see a lot of value in the fee but always with a good control of the stake since it is a derby.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,76
