Barcelona have had another excellent campaign thus far. Having already beaten Real Madrid this year to win the Supercopa, a trophy is exactly what they were after. They have won 16 of their 20 league games so far too, accumulating 49 points, but are just one ahead of the El Clasico rivals.
As for Oviedo, their return to the topflight after more than two decades has not gone to plan. They have won just two games all campaign, and haven’t won a game since September. It looks inevitable for them be returning to the second tier, especially if they can’t improve upon their goals tally, which sits at just 11.

Barcelona Last 5 Matches:
Barca looked like they showed no mercy in Jeddah as they stormed their way to another Supercopa crown. Their return to Spain has proven tricky, as although they safely advanced to the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, a loss to Sociedad does showcase their issues with complacency.
Oviedo Last 5 Matches:
Oviedo have shown at times that they can compete with some top Spanish outfits. However, when their defence doesn’t click, they seem to fall apart, with a perfect example being the 4-0 defeat to Sevilla.

Lamine Yamal (Barcelona): Barca have been incredible at home so far this term, winning all nine of their fixtures in the league. Yamal has been at the heart of this success, scoring seven goals and finding eight assists in just 16 appearances, including goal contributions in each of his last two matches.
Aaron Escandell (Oviedo): A aforementioned about the Oviedo defence, they can either look very strong or absolutely awful. Some of this does of course fall on goalkeeper, Escandell. The 30-year-old has kept five clean sheets out of 20 this term, but has saved 2/4 penalties faced, proving he has that clutch ability and peak when it is required.
