On Friday night, Real Oviedo host Almeria at the Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartie, as the visitors look to boost their chances of sealing promotion back to La Liga.
Real Oviedo are in the limbo of tenth-place in the Segunda table. A recent unconvincing run of league form has rather stalled their chances of claiming a play-off spot, while they are also only ten points clear of the relegation zone.

A 4-0 defeat in Tenerife last time out means that Oviedo have won just once in their last five matches in the Spanish top-flight.
The recent league games have been low-scoring in the Segunda, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings in the Spanish second tier.
Jose Angel Ziganda’s team has a decent recent home record in the Spanish second tier, as they are unbeaten in six league matches on home soil, having recorded four victories.
Almeria are currently clinging on to the last automatic promotion spot after a poor recent run of form. The visitors are now just two points clear of Real Valladolid in third place.
A 2-0 home defeat by Eibar last time out means that Almeria have failed to win four league outings, having suffered three defeats in the process.
Their recent league matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league games.
Almeria’s recent away record in the Segunda has been inconsistent of late. However, the visitors have failed to win any of their previous three away matches in the Spanish second tier, while winning just three of their last seven matches away from home.
Both teams are out of form heading into this clash, so it is not surprising that Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw.
