Real Oviedo vs FC Barcelona: Match preview | La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are once again back in action in La Liga, and this is another opportunity to continue their positive form so far. Facing off against newly-promoted side Real Oviedo, the Catalan giants will be the travelling side this time around.

In their previous fixture, La Blaugrana managed to convincingly beat Getafe and are currently unbeaten in all competitions. However, that is not an excuse for the Catalan giants to underestimate their opponents.

Real Oviedo vs FC Barcelona – Match Details:

Match Overview:

So far this season, Barça have played five games in La Liga and have won four of them while drawing one game. Moreover, across those games, the Catalan giants have managed to score 16 goals and have conceded only three goals in return.

Furthermore, La Blaugrana have managed to keep three clean sheets as well so far, something that is rather unusual for Hansi Flick’s ultra-attacking side. To be fair, a lot of the credit for that should be reserved for Spanish goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

As for their opponents, things have been a lot more complicated. Real Oviedo only have one win from their last five La Liga games, and the other matches have all ended up with them being the losing side.

Even in terms of their goalscoring and defensive performances, things have not looked good. The newly-promoted side has scored only one goal in La Liga so far this season, and have conceded eight goals already this season.

While Barça should have a good chance at securing all three points on paper, games are won on the pitch. Unexpected results can often be a big problem in the grand scheme of things, and Barça will need to stay focused in order to ensure that they do things right.
