Latest Real Oviedo vs Levante team information
Real Oviedo will be without Luka Ilic due to suspension from his red card in the win over Valencia, but this is not a big loss as he was not a starter.
Alvaro Lemos continues his long-term absence with a cruciate ligament injury that he has had since March. Jaime Vazquez (groin) and Nacho Vidal (hamstring) are also out. Ovie Ejaria has returned to training but is not yet fully fit.
Meanwhile, Levante has the advantage in terms of force when coach Calero has almost a full squad. Adrian de la Fuente and Matias Moreno are likely to play as a central defender pair, while Ivan Romero and Etta Eyong will lead the attack.

Latest Real Oviedo vs Levante football review
Returning to La Liga after finishing third in the Second Division last season, Real Oviedo are having a hard time getting promoted to the top flight.
Coach Veljko Paunovic's team is currently ranked 14th on the rankings with only 6 points after 7 rounds, winning 2 and losing 5 matches.
The attack is the biggest problem, as they have only scored 4 goals – the second lowest score in the tournament, only bettered by Girona (3 goals). Meanwhile, the defense has conceded 12 goals.
However, Oviedo gave their fans a boost midweek with a dramatic 2-1 win at Valencia. Substitutes Luka Ilic and Salomon Rondon scored in the 85th and 86th minutes to stage a dramatic comeback, before Ilic was sent off in injury time. It was their second win of the season, after their win over Real Sociedad.
Before that, they lost 0-2 at Villarreal (also had 1 man sent off), then suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat against Real Madrid, then got their first 3 points with a 1-0 win against Sociedad. Next, Oviedo went through a difficult series: lost 0-2 to Getafe (received a red card again), narrowly lost 0-1 to Elche and lost 1-3 to defending champions Barcelona.
However, as a team that has just returned to La Liga, Oviedo still shows some positive signs, and they have a pretty good head-to-head record with Levante: 2 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the last 5 encounters.
On the other side, Levante are currently right behind Oviedo, 15th with 5 points after 7 matches.
Coach Julian Calero and his team have only had 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses in their first season back in La Liga after winning Segunda last season.
Unlike Oviedo, Levante are not lacking in goals, having scored 11, including a 4-0 win at Girona – their only win so far. However, their fragile defence is a major weakness, as they have conceded 14 goals – the second most in the league.
Levante last drew 1-1 at home to Getafe, after a run of three defeats in their previous four. They will be hoping for some attacking flair to get them three points, but a porous defence remains a major concern.
