Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere will host Saturday’s football game between Real Oviedo and Sporting Gijon, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Los Azules are stuck at the bottom with only two points on their account, with the team still eyeing their first win of the process. Midfielder Santiago Colombatto is banned for the match, while all Lucas Ahijado, Alex Millan, and Rodrigo Tarin are out of contention with injuries. Alexandre Alemao is unlikely to be risked.
Los Rojiblancos, meanwhile, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth. Since both sides will go for a victory in the round 5 clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Sporting forward Dani Queipo is pushing for a rare start after sealing the victory against Burgos, whereas both Giovanni Zarfino and Axel Bamba are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Oviedo):

Based in Oviedo, Asturias, Real Oviedo is a Spanish club that plays home games at Carlos Tartiere. Carlos Tartiere is one of the biggest stadiums in Segunda division as it can hold up to 30,500 spectators. Los Azules competed in La Liga in the 1990s, but in the 2001/02 campaign they suffered relegation to Segunda Division.
Real Oviedo have not competed in the Spanish top flight ever since. In the 1991/92 season los Azules represented Spain in the UEFA Cup, but Genoa proved to be a big catch for them in the round of 64. Real Oviedo have a rivalry with Sporting Gijon, with the two teams facing each other in the Asturian derby.
The likes of Robert Prosinecki, Stan Collymore, Dely Valdes, Abel Xavier, Paulo Bento, Marius Lacatus, Viktor Onopko, Ratomir Dujkovic, Juan Mata, Michu, Ibrahima Balde, and Slavisa Jokanovic are the famoust footballers who were part of Oviedo in the past. Carlos Munoz Cobo is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart.
