Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere will be the centre of attention when Real Oviedo and Levante lock horns in the La Liga 2 derby. Los Azules aim to recover from a heavy 3-0 loss to Real Valladolid and the fact that they rolled over Burgos 5-0 in their last home game is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s showdown.
Los Levantinos, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run, but given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that Felipe Minambres’ troops failed to find the net in the previous two league matches. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team. Brazil forward Fabricio, though, could be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the goalless draw with Ferrol.
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.
