Oviedo will entertain Mirandés at Estadio Carlos Tartiere in the Segunda Division on Saturday. There is one more game to end the season and we will know the third team to earn promotion to the Primera División.
Oviedo vs Mirandés Preview
This is the return fixture of the two-legged final of the 2025 Segunda División play-offs. Oviedo were humbled 1-0 by Mirandés in the first fixture at Estadio Municipal de Anduva. Former Ceuta attacking midfielder Alberto Reina scored the lone goal of the meeting early in the third minute to hand Mirandés a slim lead.
Carbayones did a commendable job in keeping the damage to just one goal. They will be looking to overturn the deficit in their backyard. However, such an approach could expose them to counterattacks from Mirandés' pacy wingers. While Oviedo will push for an early opener, they must also guard against conceding an early goal.
Mirandés squandered numerous goal chances that could have made their trip to Oviedo more comfortable. We don’t expect them to adopt a complete defensive approach in the return leg, as it would be risky due to the slim lead. However, the full-scale attacking mode displayed in the first leg may not be suitable at Estadio Carlos Tartiere.
Los Rojillos suffered a 4-1 thrashing in their last visit to that venue. Their last win at Estadio Carlos Tartiere dates back to October 2015 in a Copa Del Rey clash (3-2), with Oviedo reduced to nine men. We expect another breathless encounter, as Oviedo seek a return to the top flight for the first time since 2000 and Mirandés look to make history.
