Espanyol host Oviedo in a La Liga clash between two teams struggling for form, although the hosts appear to have a much better opportunity to return to winning ways in this matchup.
Espanyol have been experiencing a difficult second half of the season. The team has not recorded a single victory in 2026 so far, going nine league matches without a win. Despite that poor run, they managed to stop a sequence of three consecutive home defeats by securing a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo in their last home game.
Prediction: Espanyol to Win
The recommended pick for this match is a home victory for Espanyol.
The main problem for the hosts recently has been their defensive instability. Espanyol have conceded exactly two goals in each of their last four home matches, which has made it difficult for them to secure positive results.
Oviedo arrive at this match in an even more difficult situation. They sit at the bottom of the table and their hopes of survival are rapidly fading. Although they have managed to collect a few points recently, it has not been enough to improve their overall position.
Their last match resulted in a heavy 0-3 defeat away to Rayo Vallecano. That result extended a worrying trend - Oviedo have conceded exactly three goals in each of their last four away matches.
