R. Oviedo vs Almeria Prediction & Tips
The club has been known for quite some time, although at one point it was really close to disappearing. At a crucial moment, the project was saved by the unexpected interest of Carlos Slim, who financed its continuation. For a long time, the goal was simply to remain a solid mid-table team in Segunda. But last year, after beating ‘Racing Santander’ on tie-breaker criteria in the fight for sixth place in the regular season, they reached the play-off final, where they came within one goal of matching ‘Espanyol’.
The club had been promoted to the Primera on previous occasions, but failed to stay there, sometimes losing their place for economic rather than sporting reasons. After the takeover of the project by Turki Al-Sheikh, the objective was clear: to return to the top flight, something that only Rubi managed to achieve after two years of work. He also managed to keep the team in LaLiga. They were relegated in 2025 from the penultimate position, albeit under a different coach.
