Real Oviedo vs Barcelona Preview

Competition: La Liga
Date: Friday, 25 September
Kick-Off Time: 08:30 PM GMT
Venue: Estadio Carlos Tartiere

Newly promoted Real Oviedo will host the Catalan giants FC Barcelona on matchday six in La Liga. Oveido will be disappointed with their start so far in the league, but they will be hopeful of getting something from this home fixture as the home crowd will definitely make things complicated for the away team. Here's Sportsdunia's Real Oviedo vs FC Barcelona Preview:

Real Oviedo has a lot of ambition this season, but surely their main challenge will be to survive in the top division. So far, things haven't been very good for them, but they do have the players who are capable of turning around the situation. Facing the defending La Liga winners at home will be a tough task, but they will be confident going into this fixture. Real Oviedo will have to be at their best to at least get a point from this fixture.

On the other hand, things are going well for the Catalan side as they have got some decent results in the last few fixtures. Despite good results, Hansi Flick wants his team to improve further and perform better in the upcoming fixtures. Overall, they have performed quite well but are still behind their rivals, Real Madrid, in the points table, and will hope to close the gap as soon as possible. Hansi Flick might make a lot of changes in the lineups and give opportunities to other players. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Real Oviedo vs FC Barcelona

Salomon Rondon (Real Oviedo)

Rondon has joined the La Liga outfit from the Liga MX side Pachuca on loan. The veteran striker is a very well-known figure in Venezuelan football as he is someone who has performed exceptionally well in his career. Rondon is still adapting to his new club and is taking time to adjust. He is yet to score a goal this season. Despite being 36 years old he was signed due to his previous experience in La Liga. Physically, he is still very fit and strong and surely can cause a lot of problems to Barcelona's defence.

Joan Garcia (FC Barcelona)

The former Espanyol keeper has been a blessing for FC Barcelona so far. He has performed exceptionally well for the team, and fans have already started to praise him for his consistency. Quality-wise, he may be one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga. Against Oveido, he will surely face a lot of counterattacks as they thrive on it, and surely his importance will be huge in this match. Garcia have great reflexes and is someone who is really good with the ball at his feet.

Real Oviedo vs Barcelona Prediction

Despite playing at home, Real Oviedo are not the favourites to win this match. Quality-wise, there is a huge gap between these two teams. However, the home team is very capable of creating trouble for the away side. We can expect this to be an exciting one for sure, and most probably, the Catalan team will win this match.
