R. Oviedo vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips (24 August)

Real Oviedo was strong this summer by focusing on the services of the Experienced International Venezuelan Rondon (Pachuca), author of a missed penalty in Villarreal. Still in the offensive sector, the promoted club signed Luka Ilic, author of 12 goals in Serbian D1 last year with the Belgrade red star while the Reina midfielder (mirands, free of any contract) also signed but will be suspended for this meeting because of his exclusion in Villarreal. Already at the club last year, Chaira has definitively signed from Girona and Nacho Vidal arrived from Osasuna to occupy a holder's role in the post of right side. Passed by Troyes, the tricolor environment Brandon Domingues arrived in the form of a transfer, while the excellent Alberto Reina midfielder (mirands, 7 goals, 4 offerings in D2 last year) was engaged freely. Recently, the Taulier Eric Bailly is freely committed (ex-Villarreal). Defender David Costas will be back from suspension (suspended from J1) and Colombatto, absent for J1 injury would be on the way back. On the other hand, the faithful Lucas Ahijado is injured as well as the important Alvaro Lemos (ex-Las Palmas) while Jaime Seoane (3 goals last season) recently signed up in Pachuca. He thus joined a list of players who left during the transfer window. We are thinking in particular of Paulino de la Fuente, the French goalkeeper Quentin Braat and the scorer Alemao (14 pawns, 4 pancakes).

Daniel Paraschiv (3 goals, 2 passes in D2 last year) and Alberto del Moral (Cordoba in D2) left in the form of a loan. Real Madrid has farewell to its legends Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez (free). In order to find the high national spheres, Florentino Perez and his Socios Madrid comrades recruited Alvaro Carreras (Benfica), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) and Franco Mastuantono (River Plate). Suspended, Antonio Rüdiger will not play and seem below the Pair Huijsen - Militao. Recommended for his shoulder operation, Jude Bellingham will miss the next few weeks of competition. Camavonga, Ferland Mendy and Endrick are injured and unavailable this evening. The probable compositions for Real Oviedo - Real Madrid: Real Oviedo: Escandell - Vidal, Luengo or Colombatto, Costas, Calvo, Alhassane - Hassan, Sibo, Ilic, Chaira - Rondon or Vinas.real Madrid: Courtois - Trent, Carreras - Tchouameni, Valverde, Güler, Diaz - Vinicius Jr, Mbappé. 

Tactically, Oviedo is expected to adopt a compact shape, pressing selectively and relying on quick transitions. Their midfield trio will be key in disrupting Madrid’s rhythm, while Bastón’s hold-up play could create openings for runners like Paulino. Madrid, on the other hand, will likely dominate possession, but must be wary of overcommitting. Ancelotti may rotate his squad slightly, with the likes of Arda Güler and Fran García potentially earning minutes to inject freshness and unpredictability.

In a bold yet calculated prediction, Real Oviedo is tipped to edge this encounter 2-1. The rationale lies in their home advantage, Madrid’s early-season rust, and Oviedo’s hunger to make a statement. Expect a late winner from the hosts, possibly via a set piece, as they stun the giants in a match that could redefine their campaign. It’s a scoreline that defies expectations—but football, after all, thrives on the unexpected.
