On Wednesday, 11 June 2025, Real Oviedo and Almería lock horns in a high-stakes Segunda División showdown as both sides continue their quest for promotion to La Liga 2. This fixture kicks off at 21:00 CEST for fans in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and at 20:00 BST in the UK.
This will be the second meeting between these teams in just seven days, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the promotion race. After a hard-fought draw in their previous encounter, both teams will be eager to claim all three points and edge closer to the top of the table.
How are both teams coming into this?
Real Oviedo arrive in solid form at home, buoyed by a strong defensive record and a row of positive results at the Carlos Tartiere. They’ve shown resilience in tight matches and will look to capitalize on home advantage to secure a crucial victory in the closing stages of the season.
Almería have been equally impressive on the road, with an attack that has clicked into gear at just the right time. They’ll be confident after a recent win away from home that kept them firmly in the promotion hunt. Their ability to break down stubborn defences makes them a real threat, even on hostile turf.
Our forecast
This matchup promises to be finely balanced, but home advantage could tip the scales in Oviedo’s favour. We expect a disciplined defensive display from the hosts, with Almería pushing forward in search of goals. A low-scoring affair seems likely, though one moment of quality could decide matters.
Given the stakes, both sides may play cautiously in the opening exchanges. Our tip is for a narrow 1-0 win for Real Oviedo, though a draw with goals cannot be ruled out. Bettors might also consider backing under 2.5 goals, reflecting the tight nature of this contest.
