Match preview

Real Oviedo, newly promoted to La Liga, has had a challenging start, earning only three points from five matches, scoring just one goal and conceding eight. They faced strong teams like Villarreal, Real Madrid, and Getafe, making it tough for coach Paunović’s squad to accumulate points.

Oviedo secured their first three points against Real Sociedad, showing solid defense and seizing their only significant scoring opportunity. However, they still struggle with defensive errors and often appear disorganized.

Barcelona, under coach Hansi Flick, are performing well this season, winning five out of six matches, with one draw against Rayo Vallecano (1-1). They have beat teams like Mallorca, Levante, Valencia, and Getafe with an impressive aggregate score of 17-3.

Flick’s team plays a fast-paced, attacking style, applying constant pressure and often dominating their opponents, leading to clear victories.

Real Oviedo: Escandell; Bailly, Carmo, Calvo; Ahijado, Dendoncker, Reina, Alhassane; Colombatto; Chaira, Rondon
