Oviedo, Spain – E don finally land, La Liga dey hot as Real Oviedo prepare to face Mallorca for Estadio Carlos Tartiere this Friday wey go kick-off by 3 PM ET. No be small match o, as both teams dey struggle to leave dem bad vibes behind and find some sweet, sweet points.
Real Oviedo dey brim with hope, but dem no fit dey too confident, as dem don sit down for bottom of the table with just nine points after 14 games. Chai! Na wah oh. Dem need to shine their eyes and show say dem fit tackle Mallorca wey dey jostle for relegation too.
Last week, Jagoba Arrasate‘s boys show small promise as dem waka enter Copa del Rey, win Numancia 3-2. But for league matter, dem draw 4-4 with Osasuna, talk say goals dey hot but wins no dey show face. Oviedo, on the other hand, don dey try find dem feet since Luis Carrion return for October, but wetin be the results? Just back-to-back 0-0 draws (no be im say dem no dey play well, but goals dey hide like say dem dey play hide and seek).
For this match, Oviedo go miss Alvaro Lemos and Javi Lopez wey dey injured. No be good news, but Ilyas Chaira don come back from suspension, so e fit help dem, especially with Santi Cazorla and Salomon Rondon wey dey lead the line. We still dey wait if Abdon Prats go get rest or Vedat Muriqi go carry the full weight for fans wey dey expect goals.
Dem say dem dey play football for enjoyment, but with wetin dey happen, e be like say fans go just dey watch as dem dey wait for miracles wey no dey show. Both teams dey dey strike posture wey go dupe some fans but let’s be honest, predictions dey lean towards a 1-1 draw (nobody sabi who go really win this one).
As Ovo and Mallorca dey face-off again after six long years (na since 2001 wey dem last play as top-flight teams), e go dey interesting to see how this one unfold. We dey hope say dem no go enter pitch come dey play aimless ball – fans dey show for camaraderie and dat special football charm wey dey make match days sweet.
If you go dey USA, you fit watch the action live on ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes. But gree be careful with your VPN if you dey outside USA, make sure say you fit find your way back to your usual streaming service. Na as e be.
