Oviedo vs Barcelona Prediction
Real Oviedo returned to the Spanish top flight for the first time in 24 years after winning the promotion playoff final against Mirandes. Their focus will be on preserving their La Liga status but losing four of their first five games while conceding eight goals and scoring just one does not bode well.
Barcelona, on the other hand, have much bigger fish to fry. Hansi Flick's side are the defending champions and are aiming to successfully retain their crown but are already two points behind arch-rivals Real Madrid.
We are backing the visitors to leave with a comfortable win and clean sheet.
