Match Prediction: Oviedo vs. Barcelona
The hosts have struggled after their promotion, with the high level of La Liga proving challenging for Oviedo. The club has suffered four defeats in their first five matches, failing to score in each loss. Additionally, Oviedo has managed just 13 shots on target this season, ranking among the two worst teams alongside Valencia in this statistic.
Barcelona has had only one setback this La Liga season, drawing with Rayo Vallecano, while winning the other four matches. The team is also strong on the road, with nine wins in their last ten away league games. Moreover, they have conceded only three goals in their last five away La Liga matches.
I believe Hans Flick's side will secure another three points while maintaining solid defense. My prediction: Barcelona to win to nil
