Real Oviedo
This weekend offers up an enticing clash of two historic clubs in the Spanish capital – juggernauts Atletico Madrid lock horns with Real Oviedo at the Metropolitano in this La Liga encounter. The hosts will be seeking a seventh victory on the bounce, and it is very difficult to bet against them in this form, especially given the visiting side have clearly been exposed and seem out of their depth in the top tier of Spanish football.

odds subject to change.
This fixture looks enticing from a home victory perspective. Diego Simeone’s side are coming off an extraordinary win over European titans Inter Milan midweek to extend their recent run to six straight wins, while Oviedo are staring down the barrel of relegation – without a win in seven and kept scoreless in their last three.
Atletico Predicted XI (4-4-2): Juan Musso; Matteo Ruggeri, Clement Langlet, Jose Gimenez, Nahuel Molina; Nicolas Gonzalez, Koke, Pablo Barrios, Marc Pubill; Julian Alvarez, Alex Baena.
Marcos Llorente and Jan Oblak could prove big misses with both doubts for the game, while Robin Le Normand continues to suffer from a knee injury.
Oviedo Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Aaron Escandell; Rahim Alhassane, Dani Calvo, David Costas, Nacho Vidal; Santiago Colombatto, Leander Dendoncker; Haissem Hassan, Santi Cazorla, Federico Vinas; Salomon Rondon.
As for the visitors, Ilyas Chaira will miss out through suspension, while Brandon Domingues, Jaime Vazquez, Alvaro Lemos, Javi Lopez, and Ovie Ejaria will all be absent through injury.
Both teams in Madrid will be rather glad about their starts to the new season, but it is Atletico who currently find themselves in fine form. They may be fourth in the league; however, they have lost just once, won eight and drawn four of their opening 13 games. If they can make it seven wins in a row in all competitions, they will continue to put pressure on the three sides above them, potentially jumping Villarreal if results go their way.
As for Oviedo, it could not be further from a nightmare start to their first season back in the topflight since 2001. With just two wins from their opening 13 games, their nine points is the joint lowest in the division alongside Levante. A victory here would most likely rise them out of the drop zone, however, considering Atletico’s form, this seems unlikely.
Recent Head-to-Head Results:
Due to Oviedo’s long hiatus from the top tier, these sides have met just once in the Copa del Rey and once in a friendly over the past decade. This will be the first time since they both competed in La Liga in which Atletico will be regarded as the home side, however.
Atletico Last 5 Matches:
Five games, five wins for Atleti, scoring 12 goals at relative ease, while conceding just three goals, it is a great time to be supporting the red and white of Madrid at the moment.
Oviedo Last 5 Matches:
It has been very tricky for Oviedo in recent weeks; an early cup exit, scoreless in the last three games and just five goals in that time, they need to find some success, and fast.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Atletico Madrid to Win @ 1.2 - Recent form suggests confidence in a home win. At 70% chance of an Atletico victory, it is likely for Simeone’s side to ease to another win, and pile on the pressure on the top three as they hope to extend the gap to fifth. With just two points dropped at home all season, it is overly difficult to see an upset on the cards.
Julian Alvarez (Atletico): If a side is to find the net at rapid pace, there has to be a top forward up front, and that is Julian Alvarez. The Argentine international has been on fire so far, bagging seven league goals already, as well as getting off to an excellent start in Europe too.
Aaron Escandell (Oviedo): The Spanish shot-stopper has been someone that Oviedo have had to rely on too much this season. A role that he has performed excellently in with three clean sheets in 13 starts, it is just the attack letting them down profusely.
