Real Oviedo vs FC Barcelona Preview and Team News

Preview

Newly promoted teams historically find it difficult to adjust to life in the top flight. Unfortunately, Real Oviedo, who earned promotion after finishing third in LaLiga 2 last season, have not managed to become an exception.

In LaLiga, Real Oviedo have won just one match and suffered four defeats. With only three points on the board after five matches, they find themselves in 17th place in the league rankings. They are hovering just one point above Real Sociedad in the drop zone.

Oviedo are coming into Thursday’s match on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Elche.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are on a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions. They have won four matches and drawn once in LaLiga. They were also victorious in their UEFA Champions League opener against Newcastle United, beating them 2-1 at St. James’ Park.

Hansi Flick’s side have been especially impressive since club football resumed after the international break. Barcelona have won all three matches post resumption, scoring 11 goals and conceding just once.

The Catalans secured a commanding 3-0 win over Getafe in their last LaLiga outing. Considering the form they are in, they will fancy themselves getting another breezy win over Oviedo in midweek.

Team News

Nacho Vidal and Luka Ilic were forced off in the defeat against Elche and are unlikely to play a part in Thursday’s match. Long-term absentees, Alvaro Lemos (knee), David Costas (muscle), and Ovie Ejaria (muscle) will continue to watch on from the bench.

Barcelona also have their fair share of absentees to manage on Thursday. Fermin Lopez (groin), Gavi (knee), Alex Balde (hamstring), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (back) will miss the game. Lamine Yamal, the most valuable footballer in the world, will undergo a late fitness test.

Real Oviedo vs FC Barcelona Prediction and Best Bet

Real Oviedo have scored just one goal this season, that, too, against an out-of-sorts Real Sociedad. It will be a big surprise if they manage to breach Barcelona’s well-drilled defence.

On the other hand, Barcelona have been scoring for fun, proving they can unlock even the tighest of defences. Ferran Torres, who scored a brace over the weekend (total 4 goals), has been a handful, and we believe he will have plenty of joy against Oviedo.
