Real Oviedo vs Gijon Prediction
Real Oviedo saw their six-game unbeaten run in all competitions brought to an end last weekend. That defeat to Eibar has left them looking over their shoulders and another negative result could draw them closer to the relegation zone depending on results elsewhere.
Sporting Gijon have shown a high propensity for draws but their four-game unbeaten run on the road will put them in a confident mood ahead of the game.
Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring draw.
