Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Municipal de Castalia will be packed when Castellon take on Real Oviedo in their first Segunda Division game at the venue since May 2021. The newcomers failed to upset Eibar in the Basque Country at the weekend and they face yet another tough challenge against los Azules. Summer signing Thomas van den Belt is pushing for his full Segunda Division debut, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Oviedo, on the other hand, defeated Deportivo La Coruna at “Riazor” thanks to Alberto del Moral’s early goal and they surely want to give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. As Real Oviedo are a more experienced side than Castellon, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the promotion hopefuls. Both Santiago Colombatto and Jaime Seoane are sidelined with injuries for 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.
