Midweek action in La Liga continues with reigning champions Barcelona visiting the newly promoted Real Oviedo.
Barcelona are back on the road in La Liga for the first time since dropping points against a gritty Rayo Vallecano side. Hansi Flick’s men have looked significantly better winning three matches in a row including a strong win in Champions League play against Newcastle United.
A 3–0 pummeling of Getafe last time out confirmed the Catalan’s surge in form, though, they’ll make the trip to Oviedo with significant absentees due to injury. Nevertheless, a victory is paramount to keep up the pace with current leaders Real Madrid.
Real Oviedo have struggled since returning to Spain’s top-flight. Veljko Paunović’s side managed just three points from five matches so far scoring just once. Still, they’ll be up and ready for their first game against Barcelona since 2001.
