Oviedo vs Eibar — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.25: Oviedo cannot score, and that is the heart of this one. They have managed under a goal a game at their own ground across eight home matches, and four of those eight ended in ties. Their attack is also stripped bare. Christopher Ramos, Carlos Fernandez, Estanis Pedrola and Juan Cruz are all out injured. The solid part of Oviedo is the defence, which lets in under a goal a game at home. Eibar are the league leaders and have won their last five, so they do not need a wild game to take this. They let in under a goal a game on the road as well, so they are happy to control a game and win it by one. The history between these two backs that up. The last 11 meetings averaged under 2 goals, only two of the 11 had 3 or more goals, and five ended in ties. A 0-1 Eibar win is the most likely score, and a game like that keeps us well on the right side of this. The clear danger is Eibar's attack. They score 2 goals a game, and 11 of their last 15 games had 3 or more goals. If they go ahead early and Oviedo have to push out, this could open up. But Oviedo do not have the forwards to chase a game like that, so we want the quiet version.
