Real Oviedo vs Real Zaragoza prediction, preview, team news and more

Real Zaragoza will be looking to snap their four-game winless run when they visit the Estadio Carlos Tartiere to face Real Oviedo on Monday.

The hosts, who head into the game unbeaten in nine straight outings, will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling and strengthen their position in the promotion playoff places.

Real Oviedo were denied their seventh win on the spin last Saturday as they were held to a goalless draw at Malaga.

They are now unbeaten in each of their last nine outings in La Liga 2, picking up 23 points from a possible 27 since March’s 2-1 loss at Girona.

With 64 points from 39 games, Real Oviedo are currently fifth in the league table, one point above Ponferradina just outside the playoff places.

Meanwhile, Real Zaragoza were condemned to a second consecutive defeat for the first time since January as they were beaten 3-0 by Alcorcon last time out.

They have now failed to win any of their last four outings, picking up two draws and losing twice in that time.

Real Zaragoza are currently 14th in the league standings after earning 49 points from 39 games so far.
