Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Real Oviedo and Racing Santander square off against each other at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 encounter. Los Azules have been impressive at the back of late and they will continue relying on their rock-solid defence in upcoming fixtures. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Friday’s encounter.
Los Racinguistas, on the other hand, have drawn each of their first two league games, with the team sharing the spoils with both Almeria and Eibar and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the round 3 clash as well. As Santander and Oviedo seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict that they are going to share the spoils at “Carlos Tartiere”. Defender Javi Montero is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match.
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.
