Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Ferrol and Leganes, Real Oviedo will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Eldense in the La Liga 2 round 25. Los Azules are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Veteran Santi Cazorla should once again start from the bench, while all Luismi, Romario Ibarra, Mario Hernandez, Alex Millan, and Rodrigo Tarin remain in the recovery room.
Fernando Estevez’s troops, on the other hand, are eyeing their third consecutive league win as well, but seeing that Oviedo have turned their Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Midfielder Youness Lachhab is sidelined with injury, while forward Florin Andone is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
