Spanish Segunda Division, battle for promotion - final. "Real Oviedo" hosts "Espanyol" at their venue.

Real Oviedo

Didn't expect to see this team in the final, but credit where it's due. In the first match, they displayed a lacklustre performance against "Eibar" (0:0), but looked excellent on the road, securing a victory (2:0). The last time "Real Oviedo" played in La Liga was back in 2001, and after more than 20 years, they have a fantastic chance to return

Espanyol

The Parakeets brought problems upon themselves at the start of the season, squandering many points when they could have already been celebrating a return to the top division. In the first leg of the semi-final, they defeated "Sporting Gijon" (1:0) and simply held a draw in the return leg (0:0). "Espanyol" is a regular participant in La Liga, only dropping to Segunda for a maximum of one season.

Head-to-Head

Since 2020, the teams have met four times. "Espanyol" has two wins (2:1, 2:0), "Real Oviedo" has one (2:0), and one draw was recorded (1:1).

Prediction  on Real Oviedo vs Espanyol match

The visitors have an impressive unbeaten run and, in general, are more experienced, so they'll play for the result. I'm taking handicap2 (0) here at 2.46 and I believe the Parakeets will secure their ticket to La Liga, so you might consider betting on their qualification.
