In-depth Analysis
Bilbao are gradually regaining momentum after remaining unbeaten in their last two matches. In their most recent game, they defeated Levante 4-2 thanks to an outstanding performance from Inaki Williams. This positive run of results will certainly boost the confidence of Ernesto Valverde’s men ahead of their away trip to Oviedo.
Meanwhile, Oviedo are stuck at the bottom of the La Liga table. After 22 rounds, they have managed just 3 wins, along with 7 draws and 12 defeats. With such poor form, the threat of relegation at the end of the season is becoming increasingly real for them.
Oviedo’s biggest weakness lies in their ineffective attack. After 22 matches, they have scored only 12 goals — a very modest tally. With such a blunt frontline, even home advantage may not be enough to help them spring a surprise against Bilbao.
The head-to-head record also heavily favors the Basque side. In their three previous official meetings, Bilbao won all three and did not concede a single goal to Oviedo.
Given the current situation, Bilbao are likely to repeat the familiar script: securing all three points while keeping a clean sheet away from home.
