Real Oviedo vs Real Madrid Predicted Lineups

Real Oviedo Predicted XI: Aaron Escandell; Nacho Vidal, Oier Luengo, Dani Calvo, Alhassane; Kwasi Sibo, Santi Cazorla; Haissem Hassan, Luka Ilic, Ilyas Chaira; Salomon Rondon.

Real Madrid Predicted XI: Thibaut Courtois; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Éder Militao, Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras; Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouameni, Arda Guler; Brahim Diaz, Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr.

Veljko Paunović is expected to make just one change from his side’s opening day defeat to Villarreal, with Santi Cazorla coming in to replace the suspended Alberto Reina.

As for Xabi Alonso’s team, they are unlikely to make many changes, although Gonzalo Garcia may bag himself a start over Brahim.

Both teams are carrying a number of injuries, with the hosts’ midfielder Reina suspended, with Álvaro Lemos (acl), Jaime Vazquez (groin), Lucas Ahijado (muscle), and Santiago Colombatto (knee) all carrying knocks. As for the visitors, Jude Bellingham (shoulder), Fernandes Mendy (muscle), Endrick (hamstring), and Eduardo Camavinga (shin) will all be sidelined.

Real Oviedo vs Real Madrid Current League Standings

It wasn’t a fairytale return to the top for Oviedo, after falling to a 2-0 opening day defeat on the east coast. Still, Oviedo remain determined to show that they compete in the first division, and what better way to prove it than beating Los Blancos.

This Madrid team were unconvincing to say the least in their opening fixture and their first domestic match under Alonso. It was a Kylian Mbappé penalty which saw them sink Osasuna at the Bernabeu, so the Spanish coach will demand something clicks on Sunday.

After gaining promotion via the playoffs, Oviedo lost just one of their pre-season games, one even being a 0-0 draw against Villarreal. Unfortunately, they couldn’t match the score away from home.

Los Blancos looked very strong in the knockout stage of the Club World Cup, before eventually falling victim to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. On a positive note, they are defensively sound, making three clean sheets in their last five, however, they have still conceded six which is a worry.
