Real Oviedo Team Overview
🟡 The "Carbayones" have slightly improved their league position in recent weeks, now sitting 7 points clear of the relegation zone. However, Real Oviedo's football is marked by a vulnerable defense and low efficiency in attacking phases. It's also important to note the poor away performance of this La Liga newcomer, having secured only 7 points from 14 away matches (18th in the league).
🔵 In the last round of La Liga, Real Oviedo secured a home victory against Valencia (1-0). However, this win was more of an exception, as the "Carbayones" didn't appear as a cohesive unit, with David Costas' goal coming from individual brilliance. Currently, Real Oviedo is managed by Guillermo Almada, a Uruguayan coach known for his pragmatic approach-emphasizing zonal defense and strict adherence to instructions by each player during defensive phases.

Levante UD
📰 A significant development in recent days is the return of Pablo Martinez to action. The player expressed his happiness about "being back in training, enjoying the field, and touching the ball again" after spending a month and a half away from the pitch. Levante's captain admitted that during this time, he was anxious for the club - "it was very difficult, with a lot of nerves, because watching the game as a spectator changes everything completely." "Always with the group, on every trip, whether at home or away, we aim to contribute. We also have this important responsibility within. Wearing the armband is not just for the photo; it's about being with teammates, traveling with them, helping in any way we can, be it with the younger players or veterans, rowing in the same direction... That's what we've tried to do."
❌ In the upcoming match, Carlos Alvarez (leg injury), Roger Brugui (knee injury), and Matias Moreno (suspension) will be unavailable.
Real Oviedo
🎤 Following a crucial 1-0 victory over Valencia, Real Oviedo's head coach Guillermo Almada addressed the press conference: "A win builds confidence, creates a positive atmosphere, and validates the good work you're doing. It was vital to win today to foster all of that and move closer to our goal. For us, every match is a final now. I'm naturally optimistic, especially because I see how the players train. We can only focus on Levante for now, and then we'll see. Even when we face Madrid, we will strive to win; that must be our mentality. The only thing we can't do is stop fighting. Oviedo fans support us and manage to convey so much to our players; I hope that connection is never lost."
❌ In the upcoming clash, don't expect any contribution from Luka Ilic due to an Achilles injury.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Both teams are dealing with similar issues - they struggle to maintain defensive compactness and keep their nets secure. Let's note the average number of goals conceded by each side this season: “Frogs” at 1.6 and “Carbayones” also at 1.6. Considering both teams will be eager to take control, we anticipate a dynamic match. Our pick is both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
Let's focus on the average number of corners in head-to-head encounters, which stands at around 10.9 per game. It's crucial to consider the average number of corners conceded by each side in the current La Liga campaign: “Frogs” at 6.4 and “Carbayones” at 6. Notably, at least 11 corners have been recorded in 4 of Real Oviedo's last 5 matches. Our recommendation is total corners over 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Real Oviedo have been struggling with their away game performance, particularly against teams that thrive on fast-paced counterattacks-a style Levante embodies perfectly. The last time Real Oviedo secured an away victory against Levante dates back to the Segunda Division in the 1981/82 season (1-0). We don't anticipate a shift in this trend. Our prediction is a final score of 2-1 in favor of Levante. The key bet is Levante to win with a handicap (0).
