Real Madrid are set for a La Liga bout with Real Oviedo for the first time in 24 years following the latter’s promotion to the Spanish top-flight.
Unlike last season, Los Blancos started their league campaign off with three points. The club’s 1–0 victory over Osasuna was comfortable yet lackluster, with Xabi Alonso’s new-look Real Madrid still finding their identity.
Five days later, they are headed out of the Spanish capital to take on Real Oviedo. Veljko Paunović’s men suffered a 2–0 defeat to Villarreal in their return to the Spanish top-flight and now are in for a much larger test against the La Liga runners-up.
The two clubs will meet with three points on the line for the first time since 2001, both eager to make a statement under the lights at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere.
Here is guide to the La Liga clash.
