The Segunda División action continues on March 14, as Real Oviedo host Elche at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere. With kickoff set for 19:30 UTC, this fixture promises a tight contest between two evenly matched sides.

Looking at the odds, the home side is slightly favored at 2.3, while a draw sits at 3.05, and an away win offers 3.35. However, the standout betting tip here is under 2.5 goals, priced at 1.48, backed by a confidence level of 5.7/10. Given that only 38.7% of Segunda División matches exceed 2.5 goals, this market looks like a strong option.

Oviedo have been solid at home, and our AI model gives them a slight edge in the 1x2 market, predicting a 1-0 win with a 1.4 confidence rating. The last time these two met, however, it was a goal-fest, with Oviedo edging out a 3-2 victory. That said, history might not repeat itself, as both teams have shown a tendency for low-scoring games.

Possession-wise, Elche are expected to control 54%, but Oviedo’s efficiency in front of goal could be the difference. The home side is projected to take 10 shots (3 on target), while Elche might register 8 shots (3 on target). Corners are expected to be evenly split at 4 apiece, suggesting a balanced encounter.

Discipline could play a role, with Oviedo predicted to see 2 yellow cards, while Elche might pick up 3. In a tightly contested match, set-pieces could prove decisive.

Overall, while Oviedo are slight favorites, the best value bet remains under 2.5 goals at 1.48. With both teams closely matched in squad value (€32.80m vs. €33.75m), expect a cagey affair where one goal could settle it. A 1-0 home win looks like the most probable outcome.
