On Friday, 5th April, a match of the Spanish Segunda will take place between "Elche" and "Oviedo".
Stadium Manuel Martínez Valero
The green-stripes are currently sitting in fifth place, demonstrating a consistently decent level of play. In their last five encounters, they lost 0:1 to "Racing Ferrol" and 2:3 to "Levante", yet triumphed over "Albacete" 3:2, "Villarreal B" 1:0 and "Alcorcón" 3:0. So far this season, the team has chalked up fifteen victories, ten defeats, and eight draws.
The visitors are in a somewhat similar situation, holding the seventh slot right now, but a win would immediately propel them to the third spot. In the previous round, they beat "Villarreal B" 2:1, while earlier they lost to "Alcorcón" 0:1. The current form of the team leaves room for improvement, yet they seize their chances well. Over 33 games in the tournament, the team has racked up thirteen victories, eight defeats, and twelve draws.
Since 2018, the teams have met five times. "Elche" won twice (2:1, 2:0), as did "Oviedo" (3:2, 2:1), and there was one draw (1:1).
The hosts have decelerated in their last two rounds but are nevertheless considerable favourites in this clash. I think a draw could easily take place in this meeting, but I'd pick: both teams to score – yes, considering both teams have a decent average goal scoring record per match.
