Union Deportiva Almeria
- Union Deportiva Almeria are on a five-game winning streak in all competitions, winning their last three home games without losing.
- Pimienta's Rojiblancos have the edge in this game as Almería are the leaders of LaLiga 2 2026-2027 on 24 points from ten games while Oviedo are ninth on 14 points from nine.
- Almería have won five of five at home in this division while Oviedo have lost two and won two of their four away games, so this is not really an obvious place for the visitors to turn the tide.
- Garcia Pimienta has constructed a very nice looking team from the off with the ball, with a high line, an aggressive pressing system and a ball-dominant tempo.
Real Oviedo
- Real Oviedo have won three of their last five games across all competitions, losing two of their last three away games.
- He has instilled a flexible system on the Carbayones, who are willing to sit deep but also have the discipline to press and change shape on a dime.
Head-to-Head
Almeria have not won their last home meeting with Oviedo, but won zero and drew two of the three most recent head-to-heads, which finished 1-1 at Oviedo's ground in 2024/25.
Key Players
- Miguel de la Fuente has scored four goals in Almeria's last five matches as they have scored eight times in that run, including a 2-1 win over Burgos CF, a 3-0 win over Leganes and a 4-2 success at Real Sociedad B.
- Oviedo have scored ten times in their last five, largely thanks to Carlos Dominguez who has found the net three times in that period.
- Pablo Saenz leads the way for Oviedo in the LaLiga 2 2026/2027 goalscoring charts with two goals in seven games, which is just about acceptable as they have a good attacking presence in midfield.
- Oviedo's last three results have been a 2-0 home win over Sporting Gijon, a 4-1 away defeat to Eldense and a 3-1 victory at home to Eibar and they could get on the scoresheet in this one.
Betting Insights
- Union Deportiva Almeria are the odds-on favorite at 1.89 to beat 4.34 outsider Real Oviedo in LaLiga 2 2026-2027 with the draw available at 3.52 in the game to be played at UD Almeria Stadium, Spain.
- A home win and over 1.5 goals is a sharp alternative bet to the home win bet because Almeria are a ball-dominant team and have been scoring a lot of goals at the moment.
Prediction
- Take Almería to edge this one out, but Oviedo will be so well prepared and have been in such good scoring form that they can keep the game closer than the odds suggest.
- Expect a competitive match where Almería's home form and goal threat give them the advantage, while Oviedo's flexible, disciplined setup means the visitors should not be written off.
