Our predictions for Real Oviedo vs Mallorca
Match Prediction: Real Oviedo 1-2 Mallorca
Real Oviedo's recent form suggests a team struggling to find the back of the net, with three goalless draws and two losses in their last five matches. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation, with Rondón leading the line, might offer some hope of breaking their scoring drought, but they will need to be more clinical against a Mallorca side that has shown resilience, drawing three of their last five games. The midfield battle, particularly between Cazorla and Mascarell, could be crucial in dictating the tempo and flow of the game.
Mallorca, on the other hand, have shown a mixed bag of results, with a win, two draws, and two losses in their recent outings. Their ability to score in four out of five games could pose a threat to Real Oviedo's defence, which has been breached in three of their last five matches. With Darder pulling the strings in midfield and Muriqi up top, Mallorca might look to exploit any defensive frailties in the Real Oviedo backline.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo's recent form has been inconsistent, with three draws and two losses in their last five matches. Their inability to score in four out of five games indicates a lack of cutting edge in attack, which could impact their confidence going into this match. However, the three points from draws against Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna suggest a resilience that might keep them competitive.

Mallorca

Their ability to find the net in four out of five matches could boost their confidence, particularly against a Real Oviedo side that has struggled to score. However, their defensive inconsistencies, as seen in the losses to Villarreal and Real Betis, might be a concern.

Head-to-Head Record
Real Oviedo and Mallorca have not met in La Liga in recent decades, making it difficult to draw conclusions from past encounters. This lack of data means that both teams will need to rely on their current form and tactical setups to gain an advantage.
