The sides face off at Estadio Carlos Tartiere, with kick-off set for Sunday at 6pm (UK time). After playing out a 1-1 draw earlier this season, both teams will be desperate to tilt the balance in their favour this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-bets-amp-predictions\">Best Bets &amp; Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the season&#8217;s stats and recent performances, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We&#8217;re particularly confident in Alav\u00e9s to take all three points, given their superior attacking output and Real Oviedo&#8217;s struggles at both ends of the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Our Prediction<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Odds &amp; Bookmaker<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Confidence<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Why We&#8217;re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Alav\u00e9s to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet365.com\/olp\/open-account?affiliate=365_03841577\">10\/11 @ Bet365<\/a><br>(52.4%)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">We are backing Alav\u00e9s to win because they have scored 16 more goals than Oviedo, have a better expected goals tally, and Oviedo have the league&#8217;s worst goal difference. The confidence comes from Alav\u00e9s&#8217;s more consistent attack and Oviedo&#8217;s poor home form.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Both Teams to Score: No<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet365.com\/olp\/open-account?affiliate=365_03841577\">1\/1 @ Bet365<\/a><br>(50.0%)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">There could be value here due to Oviedo&#8217;s struggles in attack (just 26 goals in 36 games) and their tendency to keep clean sheets despite heavy defeats elsewhere.
