Predicted Line-ups
The following predictions are based on the expected line-ups ahead of the match and could change once the official team sheets are released closer to kick-off.
Espanyol are expected to line up in a 4-4-1-1 system, with Kike García leading the line and Pere Milla operating just behind him to attack second balls and support the second wave of attacks.
Predicted Espanyol line-up (4-4-1-1): Marko Dmitrovic; Omar El Hilali, Clemens Riedel, Leandro Cabrera, Carlos Romero; Tyrhys Dolan, Urko González, Pol Lozano, Ramon Terrats; Pere Milla; Kike García.
Real Oviedo are projected to set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, looking to keep their double pivot compact and then rely on the creativity of Chaira, Reina and Hassan to supply Viñas up front.
Predicted Real Oviedo line-up (4-2-3-1): Aarón Escandell; Lucas Ahijado, Dani Calvo, David Carmo, Javi López; Kwasi Sibo, Santiago Colombatto; Haissem Hassan, Alberto Reina, Ilyas Chaira; Federico Viñas.
As for squad news, Espanyol could be without several players due to suspension or injury, including Charles Pickel and Edu Expósito, who were listed as suspended, as well as Antoniu Roca and Javi Puado, who were reported injured. Oviedo also have a fairly lengthy injury list in the latest update ahead of the match.
Match Prediction
Espanyol are likely to dominate possession and wing progression, especially if Dolan and Terrats can force Oviedo’s full-backs deeper. Oviedo, meanwhile, are more likely to take the safer route by defending in a medium-to-low block and then breaking quickly whenever Espanyol lose their shape. In that regard, the roles of Chaira and Hassan will be crucial in carrying the ball into the final third.
The key to the match may well be the first goal. If Espanyol score first, Oviedo will be forced to open up more, and that would usually increase Espanyol’s chances of adding another goal by exploiting the spaces left behind Oviedo’s midfield line.
Espanyol vs Real Oviedo Score Prediction
With the gap in league position, the stronger attacking output, and the home advantage at the RCDE Stadium, Espanyol deserve to be considered favourites.
Predicted score: Espanyol 2-0 Real Oviedo
