Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Real Oviedo will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Villarreal B and Elche when they take on Mirandes in the La Liga 2 round 35. Los Azules are a real force to be reckoned with at home and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to pick up all three points from Sunday’s showdown. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Argentina winger Santiago Colombatto, who is enjoying a season to remember. Arsenal legend Santiago Cazorla remains in the recovery room, alongside Mario Hernandez and Rodrigo Tarin.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing three of their last four league matches. As Real Oviedo have turned their Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere into a real fortress, home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
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.
