Must-win game for the ‘Bats’!
The visiting “Carbayones” are back in the top flight this season after 24 years! However, it is becoming apparent that it will be very difficult for the Asturian team to stay in the league. The team, coached by Serbian Veljko Paunović, has been particularly disappointing away from home so far.
They lost their first three away games in the current La Liga season, with their opponents keeping a clean sheet in each case! What Valencia vs. Oviedo prediction could be worthwhile for the newcomers’ fourth away game?
Given their away form so far, there is little to be optimistic about for the visitors, and the Oviedistas’ prospects look even bleaker when you consider Valencia’s home form this season.
The hosts have played three times in front of their own fans this season and have remained unbeaten (2-1-0). In light of this situation, we are going for another home win in our Valencia vs. Oviedo prediction.
Furthermore, given the visitors’ offensive weakness described above, we see value in the odds for a home win to nil. Although the promoted team recently conceded a goal to Barcelona, it was only their second this season, and the Catalans are currently lamenting several absences in their back line.
Valencia – Oviedo Head-to-head record
Real have been waiting for a win against the “Blanquinegros” for nine games. Instead, since their last triumph in 1997, they have suffered four defeats and five draws.
The odds also favor the hosts in the upcoming match between Valencia and Oviedo. You can find odds for the clash at Mestalla at Bet365 and place your bets on the go using the clearly designed Bet365 sports betting app.
Valencia – Oviedo Tip
Oviedo is a welcome guest this season: the five-time champions of the Spanish second division have yet to score or earn any points away from home! In contrast, coach Carlos Corberán’s “bats” are very strong at home.
Seven points from their first three home games this season clearly demonstrate this, and their defense in particular has been rock solid at Mestalla, conceding just one goal. We therefore see the “Murciélagos” as clear favorites.
For this reason, we are selecting the Valencia vs. Oviedo betting odds for a home win. This prediction is underpinned by the visitors’ generally very weak offense. No other team in La Liga has scored fewer goals than Oviedo, with only two goals to their name!
On top of that, we believe Hugo Duro is likely to score another goal for the home side. The striker is currently in very good form: Duro has scored in all but one of the last four league games!
His efficiency is nothing new. In the past two seasons, the 25-year-old has already scored double-digit goals for Valencia in LaLiga!
