Real Oviedo - Barcelona predictions

Real Oviedo are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 9.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Barcelona. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Any Result bet in this match other than Away Win would be quite optimistic indeed. Barcelona seem to be on their way to a relatively easy victory, though we suppose a major slip-up is not out of the question. Don’t count on it, though.

While Real Oviedo’s previous loss will hurt their La Liga standings, it shouldn’t have affected their confidence too much. After all, they were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 1:0 loss against Elche isn’t exactly devastating.

Barcelona’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against Getafe by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.30 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Real Oviedo will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Barca don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

With just 1 point between them and the relegation zone, Real Oviedo can’t be too happy with how the season started. To make matters worse, earning new points in this match is highly unlikely.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Our tip is to go for an HT/FT wager with the away team selected for both halves. The risk is fairly manageable considering the market in question, and the 1 odds offer a good return that makes the wager worthwhile.
