Oviedo vs Valencia Prediction

At the bottom of the table, Oviedo sit. Desperate for points, they are. But desperate, the dark side makes us. Clear minds we must keep, to find value in this La Liga encounter.

Only three victories all season, the hosts have. Eighteen points from twenty-seven matches, a heavy burden it is. In their last ten battles, win but once they did - against Girona, one-nil it was. Draw four and lose five, the recent path shows. Against Espanyol, one-one they drew most recently. Before that, three-nil to Rayo Vallecano they fell, and one-nil to Atletico Madrid. At home, score but zero point seven five goals per game they do, while conceding one. The force, weak it is in this side.

Rising, Valencia are. Six wins in ten games, momentum they have built. Twelve points clear of the relegation zone, comfort they seek to extend. Three-two against Alaves they won last, and one-nil against Osasuna before that. Even in defeat, to Real Madrid and Villarreal they lost - strong opponents those were. Away from home, win sixty percent of games they do. Score one point four goals per game on the road, while conceding zero point eight. The balance of the force, with them it lies.

Remember, the reverse fixture we must. Two-one, Oviedo won at Valencia's home. A warning, this is. Trap games, the force creates. Yet possession forty-one percent Oviedo averages, while Valencia controls fifty point two. More efficient in front of goal, the visitors are. The trend of goals scored, improving for Valencia it is. Declining, for Oviedo. The numbers, clear they are.

Key Points:

• Valencia have won 6 of their last 10 matches; Oviedo have won just 1 of theirs

• The visitors have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 10 games

• Oviedo sit bottom of La Liga with only 18 points from 27 matches

• Valencia's away win rate stands at 60% over their last 5 away games

• The reverse fixture saw Oviedo win 2-1, suggesting potential for an upset

Value in the away win at two point six zero, I sense. Strong enough the force of Valencia's form is, to overcome the H2H curse. Bet on the visitors, you should.
