Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Mallorca will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Sporting Gijon when they host Real Oviedo at their Visit Mallorca Estadi on Matchday 30. Los Bermellones are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win on the island. Boss Luis Garcia Plaza should stick to the 4-4-2 formation.
Los Azules, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 defeat to Leganes, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the league leaders. Real Oviedo are not regarded as good travellers, and you should bear in mind that they are on a six-game winless run on the road. In the previous meeting between the two sides at Visit Mallorca Estadi Mallorca defeated Oviedo thanks to Pervis Estupinan’s goal.
Highlighted Player (Aleksandar Trajkovski):
Aleksandar Trajkovski is a Macedonian international who played for Cementarnica 55 during his youth career. He made 11 league appearances for the club at senior level as well and in 2010 he moved to Croatian team Inter Zapresic.
The attacking midfielder failed to prove his worth in the 2010/2011 season and, as a result, he was sold to Zulte Waregem in the summer of 2011. He played an important role in the Belgian team from 2011 to 2015 as he scored 11 goals in 83 league appearances for the club. It has to be noted, though, that Trajkovski spend the 2013/2014 season on loan at Mechelen. In 2015 he was named Macedonian Footballer of the Year and the same year he signed a contract with Italian side Palermo.
Speaking of his international career, Aleksandar Trajkovski has 15 caps for Macedonia U21 and he made his debut for the senior team on 10 August, 2011 in a friendly against Azerbaijan.
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.
