[Tips]:
CA Osasuna have been positioned in the middle of the league in recent seasons, but this season their performance has declined to the lower part of the league.

Their recent form has also been extremely unstable, with no wins in three consecutive competitive matches.

Meanwhile, Real Oviedo, as a promoted team, are currently struggling to adapt to higher-level competition and are at the bottom of the league.

If no adjustments are made, relegation is inevitable.

With no wins in twelve league matches so far, there is a strong narrative for a rebound.

Their recent three consecutive draws and consistent point accumulation also demonstrate the team's resilience, showing a clear improvement in form.

The current AH line is only -0.5 for this game, indicating limited support for Osasuna.

It might be wise to follow the trend and expect Real Oviedo to secure a draw away from home.

[Recommended]:
Real Oviedo (+0.5)
