Real Oviedo achieved a valuable 2-1 victory in the first match of the playoffs against Almeria and are already looking towards the final. The team is in excellent form, having won six of their last seven matches. Their home performance is also impressive - five consecutive victories at their own ground speak of confidence and stability. With the advantage they already possess, the hosts can afford a draw to continue forward.
Almeria in a difficult positionAlmeria faces a tough challenge. After losing at home in the first match, they now need a victory - a task that seems almost impossible considering their form away from home. In their last ten visits, the team has not recorded a single victory, suffering eight defeats and only two draws. These results clearly show why the guests are in such an unfavorable position.
Prediction: DrawDespite Real Oviedo's good form, they are not under pressure to seek a mandatory victory. Almeria, on the other hand, struggle away from home and will have to take risks. In this situation, a draw seems like a completely possible outcome - it suits the hosts and would be a logical development in a match where one team will simply aim to preserve their lead.
