Eibar take on the visitors Oviedo in the second leg of Spanish LaLiga2 promotional playoff semifinals. First leg result: 0-0. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 12th at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua (Eibar).
Eibar make another attempt to return to the top division. The Gunners managed to achieve back-to-back promotions in 2013 and 2014, ultimately making their debut in La Liga. The team surprised everyone by not just surviving in the top tier but staying there for 7 years... until their unfortunate relegation from the 20th and last place in 2021. Naturally, they wanted to return to La Liga immediately, but ended up in a disappointing third place and failed in the playoffs. They experienced something similar a year ago, dropping to 5th place by the end of the regular season. This spring, the team fought for 1st-2nd place until the very end. Their inability to perform away from home, starting in late March, hindered their efforts. In the end, they were edged out by Valladolid by just 1 point! The team had to compete in the playoffs. They managed to secure a win away from home, even though the only goal came in the final minutes.

Oviedo aren't exactly a well-known or successful club. However, they played consistently in La Liga from 1988 to 2001, only to quickly drop to the 4th division due to financial troubles. Carlos Slim saved them from the brink of bankruptcy, but it seemed like the Mexican billionaire's efforts only got them back to the Segunda in 2015. The team has since been stuck there for a long time, never falling below 15th place, thus avoiding the risk of relegation, but also never climbing above 7th-8th place to enter the playoff zone. It seemed like the Blues would end up in a similar spot this time as well, having lost twice in the last three rounds. Fortunately, their only serious competitor, Racing, was even more generous by not earning a single point in the last two rounds. As a result, with equal points, Oviedo finished 6th. They immediately started the long-awaited playoff by hosting Eibar. Not only did they fail to impose their game, but despite playing with a numerical advantage, they still lost 0-1.
This will be the third consecutive match between the clubs. In the previous encounters, the Carbayones ended the regular season with a loss at Eibar's home ground, 3-4. A draw would suffice for the Gunners. However, they are the stronger team and are playing at home. We recommend betting on the home team to win.
Prediction for the match: Eibar to win.
