Girona vs Oviedo Prediction
Relegation Six-Pointer: Bottom Two Battle
Preview
Ag ne, this is going to be a proper barnacle fight! Two teams at the bottom of the table looking for a rare win. Girona are sitting 20th with just 6 points, while Oviedo are 19th with the same points. Both teams have been absolutely shocking this season, but someone has to win eventually, right?
Looking at Girona's recent form, they've shown some signs of life. They actually managed to beat Valencia 2-1 at home last month, and grabbed draws against Athletic Club (1-1) and Celta Vigo (1-1). But let's not get ahead of ourselves - they also got hammered 0-4 by Levante and 0-5 by Villarreal. Their defense is leaking like a cheap braai, conceding 2.2 goals per game on average.
Oviedo, on the other hand, can't score to save their lives! Only 4 goals in 10 games is pathetic - that's 0.4 goals per game. They did manage a surprise 2-1 win at Valencia, which was decent, but mostly they've been getting battered. Lost 0-2 to Espanyol, 0-2 to Levante, 1-3 to Barcelona... the list goes on.
The head-to-head record is interesting though. Girona has never lost to Oviedo at home in 4 meetings (2 wins, 2 draws). That's something to hold onto when you're this deep in the relegation muck.
Both teams are struggling to find the back of the net, and when you've got two attacks this toothless, you're usually looking at a low-scoring affair. Girona averages 0.8 goals scored, Oviedo just 0.4. That's not exactly goal-fest material!
With both teams desperate for points but lacking firepower, this could be one of those matches where everyone's afraid to lose rather than going all out for the win. Perfect for a quiet afternoon with a cold one, watching the paint dry!
