Real Oviedo welcome Almeria at Nuevo Carlos Tartiere, Oviedo on Sunday, Jan 17 at 3:00 PM in a LaLiga 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Real Oviedo come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Almeria, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Real Oviedo and Almeria have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Real Oviedo win or a draw looks most likely.
