Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Friday’s football game between Oviedo and Huesca will open round 17 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. Los Azules aim to recover from a heavy 4-0 loss to Elche and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Huesca. Both Portillo and Moyano are pushing for a start, while duo Lemos – Pomares remains in the recovery room. The good news for the hosts is that important defender Dani Calvo is back from suspension.
Los Azulgranas, on the other hand, failed to win the last eight league fixtures. Considering that the visitors will go for a win as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. You should bear in mind, though, that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last four meetings in the Spanish second tier. Hugo Vallejo remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team this time out.
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.
