Recent Oviedo and Mallorca Form Analysis:

Last 5 Oviedo Games:

1. Ourense 4-2 Oviedo (Copa Del Rey)
2. Oviedo 0-0 Osasuna
3. Athletic Club 1-0 Oviedo
4. Oviedo 0-0 Rayo Vallecano
5. Atl. Madrid 2-0 Oviedo

Oviedo have been in what can only be described as shocking form in their last 5 outings. The club have only managed to record 2 draws as their best results and have lost the other 3 including an upset dumping from the Copa Del Rey.

In their last 5 it's ecident that the side are struggling to find the back of the net, they have only been able to do so 3 times in 5 games with 2 of the goals being scored in the same game. Defensively their is slight optimism as 2 clean sheets is solid for a newly promoted side, they have conceded 7 in the last 5 but this is not out of the ordinary for a newly promoted club.

Last 5 Mallorca Games:

1. Real Betis 3-0 Mallorca
2. Mallorca 1-0 Getafe
3. Villarreal 2-1 Mallorca
4. Mallorca 2-2 Osasuna
5. Numancia 2-3 Mallorca

Mallorca have by comparison shown much better form than Friday's opposition. In their last 5 the islanders have been able to win 2 and draw 1, losing the other 2. Unlike their opponents they were narrowly able to avoid an upset dumping from the Copa Del Rey winning 3-2.

In their last 5 Mallorca have only been able to keep 1 clean sheet and during the same period have leaked 9 goals indicating despite their poor scoring form Oviedo may have a chance to capitalise on a struggling Mallorca defence. Up front has been a much better display for Mallorca as the side have been able to bag 7 in 5.

Key Players To Watch:

Salomon Rondon (Oviedo):

A familiar name to Premier League fans, Venezuelan striker Rondon joined the newly promoted side just last summer on a loan from Mexican outfit CF Pachuca. So far he has been the leading man in goals for his side with 2 in the league and will be used as the target man in Friday's game.

Vedat Muriqi (Mallorca):

Veteran Kosovan striker Muriqi has been far and away his sides most threatening player so far this season. The 6'4 giant is dominating the clubs goal scoring charts having scored 8 with the 2nd place being on 2, similar to Rondon he is likely to be looked towards to provide the threat for his side.
