Prediction: 1-1
Espanyol
Friday’s football game at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere pits together Real Oviedo and Espanyol, the two old rivals. Los Azules aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Mirandes, with the team eyeing their fifth home win of the process, but they will have a big fish to fry against los Periquitos. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced forward Borja Baston, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, while defender Dani Calvo misses out through suspension.
The Catalan outfit, on the other hand, aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth, but seeing that Oviedo are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Both Nico Melamed and Antoniu Roca are out of contention with injuries, while Victor Ruiz Torre is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting in the Spanish second tier the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
