Segunda División | Estadio Municipal de Anduva
Sunday, 26 November 2023 @ 3.15pm
Real Oviedo face Mirandés on Sunday seeking to protect their formidable unbeaten run in the Segunda División.
Real Oviedo are unbeaten in nine, with five wins and four draws, ahead of the 3.15pm kick-off.
They face a Mirandés team who have won three and drawn three over the same number of games.
With 25 goals in 16 games so far this season, Mirandés are scoring more than average in the league with 1.6 goals per game. But they are conceding more than average too, letting in 27 goals at a rate of 1.7 per game.
Oviedo, meanwhile, are below average scorers, with 0.9 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.2. They have conceded 0.6 goals per game.
In the last 10 years, Mirandés and Oviedo have played each other on 13 occasions. Mirandés won three of them, Oviedo six, and they drew four times.
On average, Mirandés scored 0.8 goals and Real Oviedo 1.5 in those matches.
Their last meeting was on March 4, when Mirandés won 1-0 at home.
With Leo Román between the sticks, Real Oviedo can rely on one of the league's safest pair of hands. He has kept seven clean sheets in his 16 appearances this season, and only two other 'keepers – Sporting Gijón's Orlando Rubén Yáñez Alabart and Leganés' Diego Conde – have been able to prevent the opposition scoring on more occasions in the Segunda División.
In the hosts' net, Luis López has two clean sheets in seven games. He has conceded a goal every 63 minutes, three times as often as the 180 minutes between goals for Román Riquelme.
Mirandés are 15th in the table after 16 games, of which they have won five and drawn four, earning 19 points.
The away side are three places ahead of Mirandés in 12th, with five wins and seven draws putting them on 22 points.
Mirandés' last match was on November 19, a 2-2 draw against CD Eldense, with Alberto Reina Campos and Alejandro Barbudo Lorenzo getting the goals for Mirandés.
Oviedo beat SD Eibar 2-1 last time out, also on November 19, with Borja Bastón and Santiago Colombatto on the scoresheet.
