Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Eldense will look to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Levante when they welcome Oviedo at Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat. However, their task will be made more difficult as both David Timor and Alfredo Ortuno are banned for the match, weakening their options in midfield and attack. The hosts have been struggling to find their best form this season, and this match against a resilient Oviedo side could be another tough challenge.
Oviedo, on the other hand, will be buoyed by their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cartagena at the weekend. Javier Calleja’s men showed great character to secure the win and will be keen to build on that momentum. With no fresh injury concerns, the visitors have a full squad available and should be confident of making life difficult for the struggling hosts, particularly with their opponents missing key players. Given the form and squad strength, los Azulones appear well-positioned to pick up all three points from Saturday's La Liga 2 encounter.
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.
