Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Oviedo
Tenerife play host to Real Oviedo at their Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez in the La Liga2 round 24. Los Insulares are eyeing their first win of 2022, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Azules. Goalkeeper Juan Soriano is a major doubt following his positive test for coronavirus, while Alberto Jimenez has signed a loan spell with Albacete. You should know that Tenerife are eyeing their seventh home win of the process.
Real Oviedo, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Eibar. Defender Pierre Cornud is banned for the visitors, and given their anything but good away record in the Spanish second tier, we are tempted to put our money on Tenerife, who have turned their Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez into a real fortress. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a goalless draw.
Highlighted Player (Alejandro Arribas ):
Born in Madrid, Spain on May 1, 1989, Alejandro Arribas is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Oviedo in La Liga 2. Arribas is a very experienced defender as he played for Primera Division sides Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna, Deportivo La Coruna and Sevilla in the past.
He is a product of Rayo Majadahonda football school, but he did not see any game action with the club at senior level. Alejandro Arribas played for Mexican club UNAM before signing a three-year deal with Real Oviedo in the summer of 2019.
He made his debut with los Azules in a 2-1 loss to Fuenlabrada on August 31, 2019. The towering defender has never received a call-up for the Spain national football team. His main position is centre-back, but he can be used as a right-back as well if needed. The right-footed footballer has a contract with Real Oviedo until June 30, 2021.
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.
