Almería and Real Oviedo meet in very different moods. Almería have just thrashed their last opponent 4-2 and are on a winning run in the league, while Real Oviedo also won 2-1 in their last match, but a 1-4 defeat was sandwiched in before that, so their overall picture is not as steady as the home side's. Almería have scored 20 and conceded 7 in 10 matches this season, and at home in the first half they are almost impossible to break down, conceding an average of just 0.25 goals per game. Their attack is spread across the whole match, but the danger zone is late in games, where they concede unusually often. Real Oviedo have scored 13 and conceded 10 in 10 matches; they are a team that gets slightly more shots on target than the home side (4.9 per game compared to 4.6), but their defence also leaves gaps that allow opponents a fair number of shots on target. This game is likely to see Almería dominate the ball and push forward for chances first, because their home first-half pattern is heavy attacking and they often lead before the break. Real Oviedo are likely to sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances from the spaces left when the home side push high. If the home side score first, the game will open up further and is likely to finish with a clearer margin.
