Matchday 16 of LaLiga between Sevilla and Oviedo will take place on December 14 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla vs Oviedo: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Sevilla
The side remain well short of peak form. At the weekend, Sevilla were on the verge of an away win at Valencia (1-1) but conceded late and dropped two points. The club's winless run in LaLiga has reached three matches (1 draw, 2 defeats). Across the last seven rounds the Andalusians have managed just one victory and suffered five defeats, sliding from sixth to 13th in the table. Notably, Sevilla have conceded 24 goals this season — only Levante (28) and Girona (29) have shipped more.
- Sevilla have scored in 14 of their last 16 LaLiga fixtures.
- Their home record in this competition is inconsistent: five matches (2 wins, 3 defeats).
- Sevilla have taken just seven points at home so far this season — only three clubs have a worse return.
Probable line-up Sevilla (5-4-1)
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Nemanja Gudelj, Andres Castrin, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jose Carmona, Joaquin Martinez Gauna – Batista Mendy, Djibril Sow, Lucien Agoume, Peke Fernandez – Akor Adams.
Midfielder Peke Fernandez and forward Isaac Romero are suspended. Injuries rule out goalkeeper Erjan Nyland, defenders Cesar Azpilicueta, Juanlu Sanchez, Tanguy Nianzou and Gabriel Suazo, and midfielders Adnan Januzaj and Ruben Vargas. The availability of defenders Marcao, Ramon Martinez and Kike Salas is in doubt.
Oviedo
The newcomers are without a win in eight league matches. Their last victory came back in September under former boss Veljko Paunovic. Since then Oviedo have recorded four draws and four defeats in LaLiga. The club continue to struggle for goals — a goalless run that began after the 3-3 draw with Girona in October has now lasted five matches. Oviedo have scored just seven goals this season, the fewest in the division. Defensively, though, they have conceded only three goals in their last five league outings, the joint-best record alongside Villarreal.
- Oviedo failed to score in five of their last seven away LaLiga matches.
- The team have conceded in seven successive away league games.
- No more than two goals have been scored in five of Oviedo's league matches this season.
Probable line-up Oviedo (4-2-3-1)
Aarón Escandell – Rahim Alhassan, David Costas, David Carmo, Nacho Vidal – Santiago Colombatto, Leander Dendoncker – Federico Viñas, Santi Cazorla, Ilyas Chaira – Salomón Rondón.
Defender Alvaro Lemos is injured. Federico Viñas and Santi Cazorla are suspended.

Match prediction Sevilla vs Oviedo
Sevilla are still some way off their best. Over the last seven LaLiga rounds the club have managed one win, four points and just five goals. The main issue is a sharp drop in attacking output: for two months in the league Sevilla have been limited to a maximum of one goal per game, whereas earlier in the season they were averaging almost two.
Opponents Oviedo are severely blunt in attack and have not scored since October; their goalless streak now stands at five matches. With that lack of cutting edge, Oviedo have failed to win in eight LaLiga rounds (4 draws, 4 defeats) and since November have either settled for 0-0 draws or lost by one or two goals.
My prediction – Sevilla to win or draw & Under 3.5 goals
