Oviedo Preview and News
Oviedo returned to La Liga after more than 20 years of waiting, but their first match against Villarreal away from home didn’t end as planned. The hosts dominated the game and secured a 2-0 win, enjoying a solid xG of 2.44 as well. The visitors barely had any chances to score a goal so clearly for Los Azules it won’t be easy to survive this season.
Now Oviedo’s head coach, Veljko Paunovic, has additional problems before facing Real Madrid. One of his central defenders Alberto Reina was sent off against Villarreal so he’s missing the next game.
It’d be curious to see if Paunovic is going to put the legendary veteran Santi Cazorla in the starting eleven against Madrid. Cazorla played just 10 minutes in the first round, but it’s not surprising – he’40 yearsrs old at the moment. It sounds more logical to see him entering the pitch as a substitute in the second half.
Real Madrid Preview and News
Xabi Alonso’s La Liga debut for Real Madrid was successful – his team managed to beat Osasuna at home, but it was not in the way everyone expected. Los Blancos needed a controversial penalty, executed by Kylian Mbappe in the second half, in order to secure the three points. Now let’s see if Real Madrid can improve for the next match.
Alonso took some interesting decisions against Osasuna in the first round. He decided to start with Brahim Diaz alongside Mbappe and Vinicius while Rodrygo, Franco Mastantuono and Gonzalo Garcia were left on the bench. The club legend Dani Carvajal started from the bench as well, replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold in the second half.
Franco Mastantuono could get his first start for Real Madrid against Oviedo. The 18-year-old Argentine talent is considered a future star, so Xabi Alonso will be determined to give him as many chances as possible.
