Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
High-flying Real Oviedo will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Cordoba in the La Liga 2 round 21. Los Azules have found their best form of late and, as a result, the odds for home win keep on dropping. Morocco forward Ilyas Chaira is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace as a substitute in a 3-2 win over Zaragoza, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Califas, on the other hand, are tough to beat at home, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Oviedo are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. As twelve goals in total have been netted in the previous two meetings between the two sides in Segunda Division, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere. The likes of Albarran, Barboza, and Lapena are out of contention 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.
