- Location: Nuevo Carlos Tartiere, Oviedo, Spain
Game Overview
Real Oviedo, newly promoted to La Liga this season, have had a difficult start with three consecutive losses including heavy defeats against Villarreal and Real Madrid, currently sitting 19th in the league. Real Sociedad, ranked 11th, enter this match in better form and experience, having not lost in their last six league games and with a history of strong defensive performances against Oviedo.
Key Factors to Consider
- Oviedo have struggled defensively, conceding multiple goals in recent matches while scoring few. Real Sociedad have shown resilience, with a solid defense that kept five clean sheets in their last seven clashes versus Oviedo, and have scored consistently in their recent outings.
- The recent head-to-head record favors Real Sociedad: 1 win, 1 draw, and 0 wins for Oviedo. Sociedad's defensive dominance is notable, maintaining clean sheets in most direct encounters.
- Oviedo suffer significant absences including Álvaro Lemos (cruciate ligament injury expected until mid-October), Jaime Vazquez (groin injury, likely out until early September), and Lucas Ahijado (muscle injury, expected return early September), which weakens their defensive and midfield options. No specific injury alerts for Real Sociedad were reported.
- The match is played at Oviedo's home stadium, which may provide some home advantage. However, Oviedo's current poor form and multiple injuries diminish this factor. The season’s early stage means motivation to recover points is high for Oviedo, while Sociedad aims to consolidate its mid-table position.
- Oviedo is desperate to gain their first points after a harsh opening schedule. Real Sociedad seeks to maintain unbeaten momentum and exploit Oviedo’s vulnerabilities to climb higher in La Liga standings.
