Getafe CFvsReal Oviedo

Clash of the Underdogs

Getafe CF and Real Oviedo are set to lock horns in a match that promises to be a gritty battle. Both teams have had their share of struggles this season, but each has shown flashes of resilience. Getafe, currently 16th in LaLiga, recently held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw, showcasing their ability to punch above their weight. Meanwhile, Real Oviedo, sitting sixth in LaLiga 2, is fresh off a crucial 1-0 victory against FC Cartagena, a win that could be a turning point in their campaign.

Getafe's Home Woes

Getafe's home form has been less than stellar. They haven't won in their last seven home matches, a statistic that looms large as they prepare to face Real Oviedo. Despite this, Getafe has managed to keep a clean sheet in 12 matches this season, indicating a solid defensive setup. Their top scorer, Mauro Arambarri, will be key if they are to break their winless streak at home. However, with only 0.84 goals scored on average at home, Getafe's attacking prowess remains a concern.

Oviedo's Mixed Fortunes

Real Oviedo's recent form has been a mixed bag, but their recent signings could provide the spark they need. The additions of Nacho Vidal and César de la Hoz, along with the return of Paulino de la Fuente, have bolstered their squad. However, the injury to Haissem Hassan is a setback. Oviedo's away form shows promise, with an average of 0.96 goals per game, and their ability to win 45% of matches when leading 0-1 away could be crucial.

A Battle of Equals

Historically, these teams have been evenly matched. In their last six encounters, each team has won twice, with two draws. The last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw, a result that could easily repeat itself given the current form and statistics. Both teams have shown they can score, with an average of 2.2 goals per match between them. Expect a tight contest where both sides find the net, but neither manages to claim all three points.
