Real Oviedo vs Barcelona – La Liga Match Preview
Date: 25 September 2025 | Time: 12:30 AM IST (26 Sep)
Venue: Estadio Carlos Tartiere, Oviedo
Overview
Barcelona visit Real Oviedo for the first time in over two decades as Hansi Flick’s reigning champions look to keep pace with Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. The Catalans ride into this trip on a three-match winning streak, fresh from a dominant win over Getafe, while newly promoted Oviedo are seeking their first streak of points this season and their first encounter with Barça since 2001[web:120][web:124].
Recent Form & Stats
Barcelona are unbeaten through the season’s first five matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding just three. Although injuries have sidelined key players like Lamine Yamal, the attack remains sharp with Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo firing recently. Oviedo, on the other hand, have only three points from their opening five matches, scoring just once and suffering four defeats. Their most recent outing was a hard-fought 1-0 loss to Elche[web:124][web:125][web:134].
Head-to-Head
These clubs last met in May 2001, where Oviedo stunned Barça 1-0 at Camp Nou before being relegated. Historically, Barcelona hold the clear advantage (46 wins out of 82 meetings), though Oviedo fans hope home support can inspire an upset. Four of Oviedo’s five La Liga games this season have seen only one team score, and Barcelona haven’t lost away in the league for over 14 matches[web:124][web:125].
Key Players to Watch
Real Oviedo rely on Samuel Obeng, Masca, and Santi Cazorla to create attacking chances. Barcelona’s attack runs through Ferran Torres and Raphinha with Dani Olmo in midfield. Defensive experience from Inigo Martinez and Eric Garcia will be crucial against an Oviedo side desperate for points[web:124][web:133].
Probable Lineups
Real Oviedo (Predicted XI):
- Leo Román
- Borgetti
- Dani Calvo
- Rodri Tarin
- Carlos Isaac
- Santi Cazorla
- Seoane
- Luismi
- Masca
- Bastón
- Samuel Obeng
Barcelona (Predicted XI):
- Marc-André ter Stegen
- Kounde
- Eric Garcia
- Martinez
- Balde
- Pedri
- Gavi
- Dani Olmo
- Raphinha
- Ferran Torres
- Marc Guiu
Tactical Preview
Oviedo will set up compact defensively and look to spring counter-attacks through Bastón and Obeng. Barcelona are likely to dominate possession, pushing full-backs high and trusting Olmo and Gavi to break lines in midfield. The big question is whether Oviedo’s defense can withstand continuous pressure without conceding early[web:124][web:128].
Prediction
Barcelona’s firepower and league form make them heavy favorites for three points. Expect the visitors to control play and keep a clean sheet, unless Oviedo’s counter-attacks produce a rare home breakthrough.
Predicted Score: Real Oviedo 0–3 Barcelona
