Why Bet on Real Oviedo?
Real Oviedo is the newest tenant in the first division, returning after nearly 25 years, as their last appearance was back in 2001.
In their opening match of the season, they had the chance to take the lead against Villarreal, but Salomón Rondón missed a penalty in the 14th minute. Before the half-hour mark, things got worse for the team when midfielder Alberto Reina was shown a red card.
Immediately after that, the ‘Submarino Amarillo’ scored twice, making it impossible for Serbian coach Veljko Paunović’s side to recover.
This past week, they strengthened their squad with key signings like Eric Bailly, Leander Dendoncker, and Josip Brekalo. Reina and Álvaro Lemos will be out, while midfielder Santiago Colombatto remains doubtful.
Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Real Madrid is the main title contender; however, their debut was not very convincing. A highly debated penalty on Kylian Mbappé gave the ‘Blancos’ a 1-0 win over Osasuna, with the Frenchman himself converting from the spot.
On the positive side, in the match against the ‘Rojos’, Madrid debuted a new defense featuring Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Álvaro Carreras, all of whom played very well and kept a clean sheet. Franco Mastantuono also made his debut, while Rodrygo remains on the bench and increasingly looks set to leave the club.
It’s clear that Xabi Alonso has not yet been able to fully implement his playing style, the one that amazed everyone at Bayer Leverkusen, and it may take a few more matches for his team to adapt to it.
Among Madrid’s absences are Antonio Rüdiger, Jude Bellingham, and Endrick, while Eduardo Camavinga and Ferland Mendy remain doubtful.
Final Betting Analysis: Real Oviedo vs. Real Madrid
It’s a clash between two extremes: one team built to fight relegation and another built to win the LaLiga title. Without a doubt, Real Madrid is the clear favorite for many reasons, and we believe it will be reflected on the field as they should come away with the victory.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange favor Real Madrid, with their Moneyline set at -284, while Real Oviedo stands at +930, and a draw is at +459.
The last time these two faced off was on June 10, 2001, in the penultimate round of the season, a campaign that ended with Real Madrid crowned champions and Oviedo relegated. That match finished 1-1 at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium, with goals from Jaime de Urríes and Santiago Solari. On that day, Oviedo’s striker was none other than Veljko Paunovic, now their current coach.
The ‘Merengues’ are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning two of them. The previous time Oviedo beat Madrid was on December 20, 1998, by a score of 1-0.
Go for a win for Real Madrid. If you bet $100 at -284, you will gain $35 for a total payout of $135.
