Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Saturday’s football game at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere pits together Real Oviedo and Racing Santander, the two teams who defeated Albacete and Tenerife respectively at the weekend. Los Azules have been showing signs of improvement of late and a win over Racing should see them climb to the playoffs places. Jaime Seoane is pushing for a recall after the 27-year-old midfielder scored the winner against El Queso Mecanico, while all David Costas, Victor Camarasa, Mario Hernandez, and Rodrigo Tarin remain in the treatment room.
Los Racinguistas, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 4-2 win over Tenerife. Santander, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the in-form hosts this time out. The bad news for the visitors is that experienced defender German Sanchez suffered an injury at the weekend.
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.
