Our predictions for Girona vs Real Oviedo
Match Prediction: Girona 2-1 Real Oviedo
Girona's recent form suggests a team capable of competing but struggling for consistency. Their home draw against Espanyol and away draw at Athletic Club indicate resilience, yet losses to Barcelona and Levante highlight vulnerabilities.
Real Oviedo have shown flashes of potential, particularly in their away win against Valencia, but their home form has been poor, losing four out of five recent matches. This match could see Girona leveraging their home advantage, while Real Oviedo will need to overcome their away game challenges.
The tactical battle will be intriguing, with Girona likely to press high and exploit Real Oviedo's defensive frailties. Real Oviedo's recent performances suggest they might struggle to maintain possession against a motivated Girona side.
However, if Real Oviedo can capitalise on counter-attacks, they could pose a threat. The game is poised to be closely contested, with Girona's home form giving them a slight edge.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Girona
Girona's recent form has been mixed, with two draws and two losses in their last five matches. Their home performances have been particularly concerning, with a heavy defeat to Levante and a goalless draw against Espanyol.
However, their win against Valencia at home shows they can be effective when they find their rhythm. This inconsistency might lead to a cautious approach against Real Oviedo, focusing on solid defending and quick transitions.
