Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio El Plantio will host Saturday’s La Liga 2 game between Burgos and Real Oviedo, the two teams who are level on points ahead of Matchday 3. Burgos kicked off the new Segunda Division campaign with a 1-1 draw with Huesca, with the team losing to Levante in round 2 and, no doubt, they are determined to record their first win of the process this weekend. Forward Alex Bermejo is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Los Azules, on the other hand, have been involved in some low-scoring games at the start of the season. Since Oviedo are likely to rely on their solid defence in Saturday’s encounter, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Lucas Ahijado Quintana limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Tenerife, with Oier Luengo likely to step up.
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.
