Oviedo welcome Real Betis in a La Liga tie where the hosts must overcome major selection issues. Given Oviedo’s difficulties up front at home, our prediction points toward a 1-0 away win. Forward Federico Vinas is suspended for los Azules after scoring in the recent 1-1 draw with Alaves, while defender Eric Bailly is a major doubt following a weekend knock. Oviedoâs form remains concerning, with no wins in five and a return of 0.60 points per game overall. Their attacking struggles are pronounced: they have failed to score in 70% of their matches and average only 0.60 goals per game, although their defensive structure at home has produced 100% clean sheets in four consecutive draws.Los Beticos, despite a heavy 5-1 defeat to Real Madrid, arrive with strong overall numbers. They collect 2.17 points per game away, score 2.00 goals on the road, and keep 50% clean sheets as visitors. Manuel Pellegrini still misses Amrabat, Bakambu, and Ezzalzouli due to international duty, but the squadâs depth and recent formâthree wins from their last fourâremain encouraging.
