Espanyol vs Real Oviedo prediction: This season, the teams exchanged home victories.
The "Parakeets" finished fourth in the regular season, but with a bit more luck, they could have avoided the promotion playoffs altogether. Since the end of winter, Espanyol has not lost any of their 17 matches in the Segunda, though they have only won seven of those games.
Ultimately, Luis Miguel Ramis's team finished five points behind the Segunda champions, Leganes. In their last five rounds, Espanyol won two matches and drew three. In the previous playoff stage, Espanyol advanced by defeating Sporting Gijon 1-0 away.
The "Carbayones" finished sixth in the regular season, earning 64 points in 42 matches. This is the same number of points as Racing, but the "Blues" advanced to the playoffs due to a better goal difference.
However, in their last three Segunda matches, Real Oviedo secured only one win while losing two. In their last five away matches, the "Blues" recorded two victories and three defeats. In the previous playoff stage, Real Oviedo eliminated the formidable Eibar, securing a 2-0 away victory after a home draw.
