R. Oviedo vs Zaragoza Prediction & Betting tips
Undoubtedly, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, as the two teams are intense and vertical facing the goal. For this reason and knowing that the “blue” box raises its level when it acts in its stadium, we believe that the bet “plus 1.5 goals” is attractive to bet. Remember that “maños” know how to stop visiting, standing out for being smart and competitive in their actions. Paint to be a round-trip duel for the spaces that usually leave the premises. Do not rule out that a goal falls from the initial stage.
Oviedo:
The picture “blue” arrives toned to this duel after equalizing 1-1 against Cadiz on the hour and rescue a point that seemed lost. At the moment he has 5 points in the table, his objective being to repeat the level he had against the irregular Córdoba (triumph 2-4 after winning 0-2 in the first half). Apparently, it has proven to be effective in attack but somewhat irregular in defense. He needs to be more balanced between the lines if he wants to stay in the top of Liga2. Of course, you must take care of what your rival does, since it has a high hierarchy.
As a local at the Carlos Tartiere stadium, Oviedo already played a match in the tournament and the result was not positive for their league interests (1-1 draw with promoted Rayo Majadahonda after winning 1-0 in the first half). If we analyze the performance of the team in this presentation, we can affirm that it was acceptable despite the two points lost. The problem was that he trusted and did not liquidate the game when he could. Now his goal is to be more effective when attacking, trying to take advantage of the spaces he may have to elaborate.
Saragossa:
The “maños” equaled 1-1 against Las Palmas in La Romareda, managing to add their third match without losing in the competition (1 win and 2 consecutive draws). These days, they have 5 points in the general table, their objective being to keep the regularity between the lines. At the moment, the philosophy of the Idiakez coach has set well on the roster, noticing a good performance in all areas of the field. For this duel the team is expected to take its precautions, as it will hit a vertical opponent when attacking.
As a visitor, Zaragoza already played a match for Liga2, which was acceptable for their league interests (0-0 draw against the rough and combative Reus). For this exit is expected that the owners handle the times, trying to take advantage of the spaces that can leave their rival. Of course, the balance will be your fundamental weapon to be able to win. The logic indicates that the DT repeat the 4-3-1-2 system that has been used regularly (tactical drawing more than interesting for what it provides in fense and attack).
In the last 2 and a half years, Oviedo and Zaragoza have met 3 times at the Carlos Tartiere stadium. These were the markers of those matches: 1-0 win for Oviedo in January 2016, 0-0 draw in May 2017 and 2-2 parity in October 2017 (similar result from the initial stage). As seen in this last game, we believe that the process will be open from the initial stage.
