Recent H2H results: Real Oviedo 0-0 Rayo Vallecano (23 Nov 2025)

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-0 in favor of Rayo Vallecano.
Rayo Vallecano's possession dominance (61%) versus Oviedo's limited shot creation (8 total shots vs 12 for Rayo in recent fixture) suggests Vallecano should control match tempo. Oviedo's defensive approach and low xG (0.43) indicates a counter-attacking or defensive setup. Rayo's ability to convert possession into clear chances will be decisive.
The significant disparity in expected goals (1.74 vs 0.43) and possession metrics strongly favors Rayo Vallecano. Oviedo's poor form and minimal attacking threat, combined with Rayo's home advantage and superior metrics, create a clear advantage for the home side despite both teams' mid-table struggles.
