Oviedo vs Real Madrid Prediction
🔈 What are the chances for the "Carbayones" when facing a formidable opponent at the "Nuevo Carlos Tartiere"? Real Oviedo appear to be one of the main candidates for relegation this season, and their first-round match against Villarreal only reinforced this notion. Meanwhile, the "Whites" are gradually getting into their stride under the guidance of their new head coach, and it's clear they will hold a massive territorial advantage and create numerous scoring opportunities. Let's take a look at the bookmakers' early predictions: a win for the "Blues" is at 10, while a victory for the "Whites" stands at 1.3.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the last 10 head-to-head encounters, Real Oviedo have celebrated victory only once - during the 1998/99 La Liga season (1-0). The last official meeting between the teams was way back in 2002. On that occasion, the "Carbayones" and the "Los Blancos" faced off in the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey, with the Madrid giants securing a commanding victory (4-0).

Real Oviedo Team Overview
🔵 In the opening round match, Real Oviedo essentially only played 25 minutes of football. After a sending-off, the "Carbayones" fell apart and ceased to pose any threat to their opponents' goal. Had Salomon Rondon converted his penalty, who knows how the clash at "La Cerámica" might have ended. Facing Real Madrid at "Nuevo Carlos Tartiere" presents a formidable challenge for Veljko Paunovic's squad. The bookmakers' odds reflect this: a home win stands at 10, while an away victory is priced at 1.3.
⚪ It's still a mystery what style of football Real Oviedo will adopt this season. The limited time in their last match didn't provide any clear answers. However, what we are likely to see throughout the campaign is a compact defense with a low block from the "Carbayones." Unfortunately for them, neither the quality of their players nor their experience in La Liga will allow the club to dictate terms in their league encounters.

Real Madrid Team Overview
⚪ The Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid has officially begun. Their clash with Osasuna (1-0) in the opening round of La Liga left mixed feelings. On one hand, Los Blancos displayed decent ball control and teamwork. On the other, their poor finishing could prevent the club from achieving the desired results against stronger opponents.
📌 It was noticeable that Los Blancos operated in a 4-3-3 formation, but with an intriguing twist. Xabi Alonso utilized Arda Güler and Brahim Díaz in the half-spaces, thanks to the advanced positioning of the full-backs, creating room for Vinícius and Mbappé. Dean Heijsen and Álvaro Carreras delivered outstanding performances, showcasing their immense potential. The long-range shots from the Spanish center-back could become a significant weapon for Real Madrid.

Latest news
Real Oviedo
📰 In recent days, Real Oviedo have bolstered their squad with seasoned players who are sure to make an impact throughout the season. Free agents Eric Bailly and Leander Dendoncker have joined the club. The latter, a 30-year-old Belgian, is particularly valuable for his versatility, capable of playing as a defensive midfielder or as a central defender. The most recent acquisition is Josip Brekalo from Italy's Fiorentina. The Croatian forward struggled to make his mark with the "Viola" and is eager to prove his worth at "Nuevo Carlos Tartiere".
🎤 After the 2-0 defeat to Villarreal, Veljko Paunović appeared in the press room to share a few comments: “There are two key moments: the penalty and the sending-off. If we had scored the penalty, it would have boosted our confidence. The sending-off affected both the game and the spectacle. Today is a lesson for us. Nevertheless, I am proud of my team and all the players who were on the pitch. This day will surely go down in the club's history.”
❌ Among the players sidelined due to injuries are Álvaro Lemos (knee injury), Lucas Ahijado (muscle injury), and Santiago Colombatto (leg injury). Alberto Reina will miss the second round match due to suspension.
Real Madrid
❓ There are significant concerns surrounding Vinicius Junior. With the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, his impact on the field has diminished. The Brazilian winger struggles to outmaneuver opposing defenses, and in the final third, the 25-year-old often makes questionable decisions. Former Real Madrid midfielder Benito commented on the situation: "Vinicius needs to find his way back to the path he was on a couple of years ago when he was the best attacking player in the world. It's more of a psychological issue than anything else."
🎤 After the 1-0 victory over Osasuna, Xabi Alonso assessed his team's performance: "There are positives, starting with the result. We played after two weeks of preseason preparation against a team that had more time to prepare. We lacked certain elements, but this will give us stability to continue working. Osasuna played very deep; we lacked freshness, brightness, and readiness to take more risks. We'll learn from this because we will surely face similar matches again, and we'll keep moving forward."
❌ Let's turn to Real Madrid's injury list: Jude Bellingham (shoulder injury), Eduardo Camavinga (ankle injury), Endrick (hamstring injury), and Ferland Mendy (hamstring injury).
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
In each of the last 10 matches involving Real Madrid, there have been no more than four yellow cards. This trend is also evident in the last 10 encounters between the "Carbayones" and "Los Blancos." On average, around 3.9 yellow cards were issued in games featuring the capital club last season. Therefore, our pick is under 3.5 total yellow cards.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Interestingly, in 8 of the last 10 head-to-head clashes between Real Oviedo and Real Madrid, both teams found the back of the net. It's also worth noting that the "Carbayones" have scored at least once in their last 10 official home matches. Considering that the capital club is still searching for their best form, we anticipate that the hosts will manage to score. Our choice is Real Oviedo to score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Last season, the "Galacticos" averaged 6.4 corners per game. In their opening match of the current campaign, the capital club earned 7 corner kicks. It's well-known that Xabi Alonso's teams are famous for their aggressive pressing on the opponent's half and emphasize high-intensity wing attacks. Therefore, we opt for Real's individual total corners over 6.5.
Editor's Prediction
In truth, the outcome of the match is largely influenced by Real Oviedo's lack of readiness for the pace and demands of Spain's top division. For Xabi Alonso's side, the upcoming game presents a fantastic opportunity to unleash their attacking potential and strengthen connections in midfield. A final score of 1-3 seems quite plausible. The editor's key pick is Real Madrid to win with a handicap of (-1.5).
