AlmeriaPreview – Can Almeria consolidate 2nd place?
The Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos is the venue for our next preview as 2nd placed hosts, Almeria, seek another three points in Thursday night’s clash against Real Oviedo, which would reduce the deficit on La Liga 2 leaders, Cadiz, to just 3 points.
In turn, Almeria will also be keen to put some daylight between themselves and the chasing teams such as Real Zaragoza and Huseca as the hosts look to further consolidate their 2nd place spot and their prospects of automatic promotion to La Liga.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 13 matches overall in the Spanish second tier, Almeria look fairly well set for further success this evening as they look to further improve upon a solid home record which stands at 6-2-2 19/10 and includes just the one defeat out of their last 6 matches.
The hosts have actually suffered just 3 defeats out of their last 19 matches on home turf, which includes a 1-0 defeat to tonight’s opponents, Real Oviedo, back in April of last year, so they’ll be keen to avenge that loss here tonight.
Real OviedoPreview – Can Real Oviedo strike again?
Visitors, Real Oviedo, occupy a lowly 17th place in La Liga 2 after a recent 2-0 defeat at home to Cadiz which was followed by back-to-back draws with Racing Santander and Malaga, both in 1-1 stalemates, so they head into this encounter without a win from their last 3 matches overall.
Real Oviedo have managed to capture just 2 wins out of their last 10 matches overall in the Spanish second tier which were victories over Rayo Vallecano and away at Alcorcon, while results away from home have produced sporadic success and just 1 win out of their last 5 matches on the road.
An away record of 3-1-7 15/20 includes wins at Tenerife, Albacete and Alcorcon, all of whom currently occupy places in the bottom half of the division, while real Oviedo possess the worst defensive record away from home behind only to Mirandes (conceded 23 goals).
