Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere hosts an intriguing clash on Saturday as Real Oviedo face Celta Vigo. A promoted side against a club enjoying a remarkable resurgence.
Celta: The Giant Killers
Celta Vigo are living their best moment. Back-to-back wins against Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao: Claudio Giráldez's men are making serious statements. This momentum has propelled the Galicians into the top half of the table.
Iago Aspas, the eternal captain, continues pulling the strings in attack. At 37, the number 10 remains indispensable, surrounded by a hungry generation of young talents.
Oviedo: The Nightmare Continues
Ten games without a win across all competitions, averaging just 0.40 points per match: the Carbayones are sinking. Goal output is dire with only 0.50 goals scored per game. The defence is shipping 2.33 goals per home game.
The Asturian manager needs to find solutions quickly or risk seeing his team drop straight back to Segunda Division in their first season in the top flight.
Fresh Encounter
First meeting between these two sides in La Liga for several seasons. Celta, buoyed by their current form, start as heavy favourites in this Asturias vs Galicia duel.
Prediction: Celta continue their winning run. 0-1
