The Spanish Segunda Division returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Real Oviedo and Eibar go head-to-head on Sunday.
Both sides are unbeaten in the league since September and we anticipate a thrilling contest ensuing at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere.
Real Oviedo were involved in a share of the spoils for the second consecutive game as they played out a 1-1 draw with Cartagena last Monday.
However, Luis Miguel Carrion’s side have now gone nine straight games without defeat across all competitions, claiming five wins and four draws since a 1-0 loss against Real Valladolid on September 24.
With 19 points from 15 matches, Real Oviedo are currently 14th in the Segunda Division table but could move level with 10th-placed Real Zaragoza.
Elsewhere, Eibar were held to a 1-1 draw by Albacete when the sides squared off at the Municipal de Ipurua last Sunday.
Like this weekend’s hosts, Joseba Etxeberria’s men are currently on an 11-game unbeaten run, claiming eight wins and three draws since a 1-0 loss to Burgos on September 9.
Eibar are currently fourth in the league standings, having picked up 27 points from their 15 matches so far.
