Oviedo is stuck at the bottom of the table right now which is tough for the fans. Still, they are holding a decent unbeaten run of 6 games at their own stadium. That is something to build on. They only pick up 1 point per game but they are fighting.
The offensive side of things is where it gets messy for the hosts. They have failed to score in 64 percent of their games this year. That is a huge worry. Even so, the atmosphere at the Tartiere will be intense for this big visit.
Federico Barboza has been a bright spot with 3 goals so far this season. He averages 0.23 goals per 90 minutes. If Oviedo wants to survive they need him to find the net. Missing David Costas and Ovie Ejaria today makes the task much harder.
Athletic Club sits in 10th place and they are looking for more consistency. They have picked up 5 points in their last 5 games. Even with mixed results, they have scored in 6 consecutive matches. Ernesto Valverde will want his team to dominate the possession.
The visitors are missing several key figures like Beñat Prados and Unai Eguíluz today. Also, Yeray Álvarez is suspended which leaves a gap in the defense. Still, players like Nico Williams are always a threat on the counter attack with their incredible pace and skill.
Nico has 4 goals this season while Robert Navarro leads them with 5. These players will be vital for breaking down a stubborn Oviedo defense. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain their scoring streak in this Spanish League Predictions preview.
Athletic Club manager Ernesto Valverde has emphasized that there is no time for regrets following their recent cup defeat. Ahead of the clash with Real Oviedo, Valverde stressed the urgency of securing points to regain confidence and climb the table.

Prediction
Under 2.5 Goals @xxx
Real Oviedo has a massive problem scoring goals this season at home. They currently average only 0.36 goals per match which is very low. All of their last 5 matches at the Tartiere have stayed under the 2.5 goal line. With such a weak attack, it is hard to see them breaking down a disciplined visiting side in this crucial league fixture.
Athletic Bilbao also tends to keep things tight when playing away from home lately. 3 out of their last 5 road trips ended with fewer than 3 goals scored in total. Given the stakes and Oviedo’s defensive approach at home, a low scoring game is likely. Expect a tactical battle where neither side wants to commit too many men forward early.
