Head-to-head statistics Oviedo - Valencia

Real Oviedo Team Overview
🟡 Fans of the "Carbayones" are gradually losing hope for their team's success, as they trail by 8 points from the crucial 17th spot. This gap could soon become insurmountable. Equally concerning is Real Oviedo's average scoring rate in this season's La Liga campaign - just 0.63 goals per game, the worst in the league. Even the home advantage hasn't been much of a help, with the club earning only 11 points from 13 matches at the "Nuevo Carlos Tartiere" (ranking 19th in the league).
🔵 In the last round of La Liga, Real Oviedo drew with Espanyol (1-1) at "Cornellà-El Prat". The standout performer was once again goalkeeper Aarón Escandell. The 30-year-old Spaniard made 8 saves, consistently keeping his team in the game. Head coach Guillermo Almada aims to simplify his team's play as much as possible, but the lack of creativity is directly affecting their low scoring output. Federico Viñas remains Real Oviedo's top scorer this season in La Liga, with 5 goals in 23 matches.

Real Oviedo
🎤 Real Oviedo head coach Guillermo Almada shared his thoughts on his team's recent draw: “I was more satisfied with the second half. We had more possession and regained the ball near the opponent's goal more frequently. During that period, we created chances but couldn't convert them. In the first half, we lost possession too quickly and spent a lot of time chasing the opponent. In the second half, we rediscovered our identity and were closer to winning than in the first. I wanted to refresh the team, especially for players observing Ramadan, as they are in a challenging situation. Due to certain circumstances, they were exhausted, and we tried to bring some freshness to the game.”
❌ The participation of the following players in the upcoming match remains uncertain: Lucas Ahijado (leg injury), Thiago Borbas (leg injury), David Costas (muscle injury), Leander Dendoncker (leg injury), and Ovimuno Ejaria (leg injury).

Out of the eight matches we've played so far, the team has secured five wins. The aim was to win today. It was a tough, very challenging game. The team's belief, the players' commitment, their fight, and dedication until the very end allowed us to claim these crucial three points. Starting tomorrow, the goal is very clear: to go to Oviedo and win there. Their current form doesn't reflect their situation, but our job is to analyze what they do. From tomorrow, we'll be focused on preparing for that game because nothing will be more important to us than getting a good result.”
