Oviedo, Spain – This Saturday, Carlos Tartiere Stadium go host one hot La Liga match between Real Oviedo and Levante. Na clash of newly-promoted sides wey dey fight for position as dem dey just above relegation zone. Both teams need dis win like person wey dey find water for desert.
Currently, Real Oviedo dey occupy 14th position for the table, with just six points from seven matches. Dem don win two but don collect five serious beatings (e be like sey dem be punching bag for this league). Their biggest wahala be say dem no fit score goal, as dem don manage just four goals like small pikin wey dey learn to talk.
However, dem don inspire their fans small with one nice win against Valencia, wey una go fit call miracle, since dem score two goals for the last minute! But e no clear say dem go fit carry dat energy enter dis match as Ilic don receive red card, and him no go fit play. Na one potential game-changer wey don waka go bench.
On the other side, Levante no too dey feel better, as dem dey struggle too, dey sit for 15th position with five points. Na only one win get dem in di bag, plus two draws and four losses. Dem score 11 goals, so dem get some attacking power, but na dem e be say their defense na wahala (14 goals don enter their net). Just imagine say dem dey play for one small cup, water go dey full their eyes.
Last week, Levante draw against Getafe, after dem don face beat from Barcelona and others (e be like sey dem no sabi handle pressure like wey dem go fit handle cold palm wine). If dem wan take dis chance to win, dem gatz shore up their defense because Oviedo go dey hungry to score.
Both teams get three points gap from each other, so dis match fit carry serious weight. Oviedo, in recent time don win two out of five matches against Levante. E mean say dem fit no dey afraid of their opponent, but dem get to show am for pitch.
Ayo, on the injury front, Levante don dey better as dem get almost full squad ready to fire. Meanwhile, Oviedo dey miss some important players; Ilic don miss out completely.
Predictions? Na serious contest we fit see here, but I go put my money for Levante to edge am small, just because dem get more striker options fit dem. Plus, wetin dem get for their tape dey show say dem fit score!
