Latest football match prediction: Real Oviedo vs Real Madrid
Real Oviedo return to La Liga for the first time since the 2000-01 season, after winning promotion through the Segunda Division play-offs last season.
Since their relegation, the Asturias team has played in the third and fourth divisions, so their return to La Liga has been a difficult journey. However, this season they are predicted to be in contention for survival.
Veljko Paunovic's team kicked off their campaign with an away match against Villarreal, suffering a 0-2 defeat – a result that wasn't entirely unexpected given their opponent is a top-four contender.
Historically, Oviedo have only won 14 out of 85 matches against Real Madrid, losing 55. The most recent encounter between the two teams was in the 2022 Copa del Rey, where Oviedo lost 0-4. However, in their last La Liga clash in June 2001, the two sides drew 1-1, and three out of the last four encounters in the top division ended in a draw.
On the other side, Real Madrid started the season with a 1-0 victory over Osasuna. Although the performance wasn't entirely convincing, Kylian Mbappe's solitary goal secured all three points for Los Blancos.
Coach Xabi Alonso wants his players to improve their form this weekend, because he understands that Barcelona are very strong and any early slip-ups could be costly. Last season, Real Madrid finished second in La Liga, four points behind Barcelona, and were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals by Arsenal.
This summer, they have signed four new players, including three defenders. The midfield is still considered a position that needs strengthening, but it is likely that Los Blancos will only make one "big-name" signing next summer.
Real Madrid aim to win against both Oviedo and Mallorca before the September international break, prior to their return to face Real Sociedad on September 14th.
